56 WASH COTTAGES is an attractive Grade II Listed period cottage adjoining two similar thatched properties, situated towards the outskirts of Debden and enjoying views over surrounding countryside. The property retains a number of attractive internal features including exposed timbers, a lovely brick fireplace and ledged and braced oak internal doors.

The accommodation is arranged over three levels with an enclosed front porch to the front and door opening into one of the two reception rooms, each of which look out to the front, the sitting room featuring a brick fireplace, whilst the adjacent reception room looks out to the side also and features an exposed brick fire breast. There is a ground floor shower room with a three piece suite and an impressive kitchen/family room which is located to the rear of the property. This excellent room benefits from an extension to the property with a slot window to the rear and bi-folding doors opening to a secluded courtyard area and further overhead skylights, all drawing in good amounts of natural light. The kitchen is well equipped with a range of storage cupboards and worktops with an integrated full height fridge and freezer, dishwasher and space for a range cooker with extractor fan above.

A spiral staircase leads to the first floor where a spacious landing leads to the three bedrooms and the family bathroom. A doorway on the landing conceals a staircase rising to the second floor, where there are two further adjoining rooms.

OUTSIDE, the gardens extend to the front and side of the house being bordered by mature hedgerow which provides an excellent enclosure to this outside space, which is laid out predominantly to lawn with a paved terrace area which provides an ideal space for outside entertaining. A driveway to the side provides off-street parking for several vehicles, which in turn gives access to a large timber framed garage. In all, the plot extends to about 0.12 of an acre (98ft wide x 68ft deep).
