About This Home

Step into the charm of a bygone era with this enchanting 2-bedroom gate house cottage, lovingly converted and brimming with character. Nestled in the picturesque town of Essex, this home offers a rare blend of history, warmth, and comfort. Inside, sunlit rooms with wide wood floors, paneled walls, and a beamed living room ceiling create a cozy retreat, while large windows frame views of the cottage's timeless stone walls and surrounding greenery. The kitchen provides both charm and convenience, complete with a washer and dryer tucked in for everyday ease. Outdoors, a private lawn invites you to garden, relax, or simply enjoy the peaceful setting. A dedicated parking space in the historic barn/garage adds to the appeal. With its unique character and storybook setting, this cottage is more than a rental-it's a lifestyle to fall in love with. One cat or small dog will be considered.
