Long Corner Cottage is a beautiful four-bedroom family home that boasts over 2,100 square feet of living space and sits on a well-maintained plot of approximately 0.15 acres in the village of Hempstead, just 6 miles east of Saffron Walden in Essex.

Upon entering the home through the front entrance hall, you'll find a spacious open-plan kitchen and dining room. The current owners have added a lovely touch to the solid wood kitchen, that was originally handbuilt by Lavenham Joinery, by having it professionally painted in a charming 'duck egg blue' colour. The cabinetry at both base and eye levels provides ample storage and workspace on the granite worksurface, while there is also an integrated Bosch double oven, space for a fridge/freezer and dishwasher, to complete the kitchen space. Moving through to the dining area, you'll find that the tiled flooring continues throughout this open-plan room, with two sash windows and French doors that open out to the garden.

From the dining area, there is a door leading to a lobby area with a back door to the garden and another door that opens to the utility room. Here, you'll find base-level units, space for a washing machine and tumble dryer, and an oil-fired boiler. Additionally, there is a further door leading to the cloakroom and double doors that go into the inner hall.

The inner hall is a beautiful space with French doors that open out to the garden terrace, a door to the study, and another door into the family room. The family room is a versatile everyday room with plenty of space for sofas, a desk, a built-in TV cabinet, and a large inset cast iron log burner within a feature brick fireplace. The stairs in this room lead up to the first floor, and another door leads to the sitting room. The sitting room gives the impression of a more formal ‘grown up’ space that is incredibly bright and welcoming with windows to the front and side aspect plus French doors out to the rear garden. There is also a log-burning stove built into the large brick fireplace.

The upstairs landing spans the entire length of the house and grants entry to all four bedrooms, each equipped with integrated and independently controlled air conditioning, as well as the family bathroom. The master bedroom is an exceptional space with an extruding pair of windows looking out to the garden, built-in wardrobes, and a door to the en-suite shower room. Bedroom two has space for a large freestanding wardrobe with the possibility of a built-in wardrobe should a new owner wish, plus a door to the second en-suite shower room. Bedrooms three and four are also double bedrooms in their own right. The family bathroom benefits from a large freestanding bath, a separate shower cubicle, a wash hand basin, and a WC.

Outside, the garden is mainly laid to lawn and bordered by mature trees, shrubs, and flower beds. There is a patio terrace adjacent to the property, and a path through the middle of the garden that leads up to the double garage and parking area, which is accessed via a small private lane off of the High Street. The double garage has a remote controlled electric roller door, space to park two cars, power, lighting, a 7.2-kwh Pod Point electric car charger and storage in the roof space.
