Swan Chase, Sible Hedingham, Essex

Occupying a delightful and established south facing plot of approximately 0.53 of an acre, Rose Cottage is located along a peaceful chase way, and is a handsome, but modest two bedroom detached cottage of stone dashed exterior walls under a clay peg tiled gambrel roof. The property is located just to the edge of the conservation zone, on the periphery of the village and occupies a lovely semi-rural position with paddock and meadow land to its western and southern boundaries. The accommodation extends to approximately 1000sqft and there is a pitched roof garage/workshop of approximately 300sqft.

Entrance door to entrance hall, understairs storage cupboard (which contains the storage batteries supplied by the solar panels) and from which there are doors to the sitting room and dining room. The dining room is a lovely light and airy room with windows to both front and rear elevation. The focal point of the sitting room is a substantial fireplace inset into which is a Regent cooker range of some antiquity, which we understand is wood burning and through flow and return pipes provides hot water to the domestic water supply (if required). There are windows to front and a door way through to a well proportioned kitchen with a vaulted ceiling. There are counter tops to three sides, a gas hob, electric oven, the storage units are on floor and eye level and feature shaker style doors and there is space for a side by side type fridge/freezer. Stable style door to the front, skylight window for additional light which is easterly facing, and tiled floor area. From the kitchen there are steps down to a rear lobby which provides additional storage and features a tiled floor and French doors providing access to the lower level block paved patio. From the rear lobby there is a doorway through to the cloakroom with two piece suite, and a separate wet room with a butler style sink.

The first floor landing provides storage cupboards and access to two bedrooms and a bathroom. The principal bedroom is of excellent size with built in wardrobes, windows to two elevations and a substantial cross beam. The additional bedroom is of double size and the bathroom features a three piece suite including a bath.

Exterior
The property is located to the western side. There is a parking bay suitable for the parking of two to three cars subject to size and double gates which provide access via a pathway which then leads to the entrance door. Situated immediately adjacent to the parking bay is a large timber built pitch roof workshop, with double doors to front, windows to side and rear, side door and power supply connected.

The gardens have matured over the last 20 years or so and feature two patio terraces adjacent to the cottage, greenhouses, a large lawn expanse, a variety of maturing trees, flower and shrub borders. To the southern boundary is a natural Brook and there is also an arbour located more or less centrally to the garden of which there is a solar panel attached to part of the structure. The gardens are private, open and subject to the time of year and weather should enjoy a high degree of sunshine.

Agents note;
The cottage(s) were originally constructed in the 17th or 18th centuries and we are advised that Rose cottage was listed as grade II, but has subsequently been de-listed. We understand the exterior walls are of 9 inch brickwork. Our clients have advised us that the pv solar panels cumulatively produce approximately 4.2 kw of power feeding storage batteries.

Central heating is derived from a combination boiler and an air source heat pump, domestic hot water is also derived from a combination boiler supplemented by a thermal solar panel and a wood fired cooker range (if required).

Further extension to the rear of the building could be limited due to the topography and position of the building which is located tight to the western boundary. The chase way is adopted.

In the future the land may have development potential, but is currently outside of the development boundary.
