The property is a charming cottage located in Hatfield Broad Oak, a village in Essex. The location benefits from being close to a well-regarded primary school, St Mary’s Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School, which is only 0.39km away and has a good Ofsted rating. Several other good primary schools are within a reasonable distance. The proximity to Stansted Airport, although potentially noisy, also offers good transport links.

The cottage itself appears to be in excellent condition. The images show a recently renovated interior with a modern kitchen and bathrooms, while retaining many original features such as exposed beams and brickwork. The property has been tastefully updated, blending modern amenities with period charm. There is no evidence of any significant repairs or renovations required. The garden is a particular feature, well-maintained and offering a private and secluded space.

The list price of £855,000 is significantly higher than the average property price in the area (£415,625). However, this cottage is substantially larger than the average property (1,672.71 sqft compared to 824 sqft) and has been extensively renovated to a high standard. While some nearby properties are listed at comparable or higher prices, the lack of sqft information for those properties makes a direct comparison difficult. The price per sqft is higher than the area average, reflecting the property’s condition, size, and desirable features. The inclusion of a well-maintained garden also contributes to the higher price point.

Therefore, we give this property 7 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
