2 bedroom cottage for sale

Set on one of Mistley’s most sought-after roads, this attractive red-brick Victorian cottage blends period charm with thoughtful modern updates. Behind its traditional frontage lies a surprisingly spacious interior arranged over two floors, with character details at every turn and a south-west facing garden that feels both private and practical.The living room is warm and welcoming, centred around an exposed brick chimney breast with inset stove, while painted beams and a sash-style window add to its sense of character. It flows neatly into the dining room, a bright and versatile space where a wide opening leads through to the kitchen at the rear. This kitchen is a standout feature, remodelled just four years ago with sleek gloss cabinetry, skylights set into a vaulted ceiling, and a glazed door that opens directly onto the garden – creating a light and airy environment that works as well for everyday cooking as it does for relaxed entertaining.Upstairs, two bedrooms are served by a stylish family bathroom installed only three years ago. The main bedroom at the front is generously proportioned and filled with natural light, while the second enjoys a peaceful outlook over the garden and lends itself well as a guest room, study, or nursery. The bathroom is finished to a contemporary standard, with full tiling, a modern suite and overhead shower, and a heated towel rail.Outside, the garden extends to around 65 feet and is perfectly oriented to catch the sun well into the evening. A paved terrace provides a spot for outdoor dining, leading onto a central path flanked by lawn and planting. At the rear sits a smart workshop, accompanied by four additional stores that add plenty of practicality for tools, bikes or hobbies.The Park is a quiet residential setting just a short stroll from Manningtree’s High Street and riverside. Here you’ll find an appealing mix of independent shops, cafés, pubs and everyday essentials, with the station less than a mile away for direct trains to London Liverpool Street in about an hour. The town sits at the gateway to the Dedham Vale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, known as Constable Country, where countryside walks, cycling routes and scenic villages are all close at hand.
