Debden, Nr Saffron Walden, Essex

GLEBE COTTAGE is a truly outstanding, detached Grade II Listed cottage occupying a tucked away and secluded position on the edge of Debden village with good access to its main centre and within easy reach of Saffron Walden.
The property is impeccably presented having been subject to a programme of restoration, extension and improvement during the current owners' period of occupation, creating a highly individual home of enormous style and character blending period features with more modern contemporary styling. As with many period homes, the accommodation provides versatile living space which could be incorporated for a variety of purposes to suit the needs of any owner.
The main entrance door opens into the nicely appointed kitchen with a range of storage cupboards, wooden worktops and central island, exposed brick fireplace with recessed space for Range cooker, butler sink, attractive timber flooring, windows to the front and rear and stable door opening to outside. The dining room incorporates a range of exposed beams and timbers, window to the front with fitted shutters and fireplace with fitted stove. There is a separate utility room with further appliance space, window to the rear, attractive tiled floor and storage cupboard housing central heating boiler. An attractive semi-vaulted rear hallway links to the modern sitting room with bi-folding doors opening to outside and further window drawing in natural light, from here a staircase rises to a galleried mezzanine sitting area above which is vaulted and creates an excellent additional reception area, although could be, potentially, re-organised to create further bedroom space. From the sitting room a door gives access into a ground floor double bedroom which has dual aspect windows and an en suite wet room with Jack & Jill access having a door leading in from the rear hallway.
The first floor accommodation within the original part of the property has stairs which rise from the kitchen leading to a large landing area with doors either side; one leading into a double bedroom, whilst the other opening to a bathroom which features exposed beams and timbers, attractive wooden floor and a 3-piece suite including a free-standing bath.
