Manor Cottage

SELLERS INSIGHT The sellers have resided at Manor Cottage for 22 years. They were initially drawn to the property for its gardens, with the woodland being a haven for wildlife and space for the family to grow and enjoy. The close proximity to highly regarded schools and transport links to London with Shenfield station just a 10 minute drive away was another reason it suited their family needs.

Since being at the property they have added a garden room and sun room as well as replacing the roof, new insulation and weather boarding. The sun room being their favourite room perfect to enjoy the peace and quiet whilst watching the birds and wildlife.

The Sellers have many memorable moments at Manor Cottage, especially the space it enabled them to entertain and host summer parties in the garden with so much space around to enjoy.

There is a great sense of community in the area, the neighbours are extremely friendly and the village has lots of activities going on,especially for children with clubs such as football, brownies and scouts.

They will certainly miss the peace and tranquillity and being surrounded by nature. Now its just the two of them they are looking to downsize and would love a family to enjoy the property has much as they have over the years.
