A Charming Grade II Listed Cottage in the Heart of Manuden

Tucked away off a private lane in the centre of Manuden, Watts Cottages is a delightful detached Grade II listed home believed to date back to the 17th century. Brimming with period character and charm, the property features exposed timbers, a wealth of original details, and a welcoming living room complete with a wood-burning stove.

The accommodation is arranged over three floors. The ground floor comprises a cosy living room, separate dining room, fitted kitchen and a cloakroom. On the first floor, there are two generous double bedrooms with built-in storage, together with a family bathroom and separate shower. The top floor provides an additional double bedroom and a further bathroom – ideal as a guest suite or teenager’s retreat.

Outside
The property enjoys a detached garage with an adjoining summer house, as well as a gravelled driveway offering excellent parking. The gardens are predominantly to the front of the cottage, beautifully divided between a gravelled parking and turning area, a well-maintained lawn with established borders, and a terrace surrounding a charming pond. There is also outside lighting, water supply, and an oil tank. The garden enjoys a high degree of privacy.

Please note: the property benefits from oil-fired central heating, and Watts Cottage owns the private lane leading from the main road to the house.
