Harwood Hall Lane, Upminster

Beresfords are delighted to offer to the market this truly charming and beautifully presented two bedroom end-of-terrace Grade II Listed Tudor Cottage, dating back to 1760 and enjoying an enviable position within one of Upminster’s most sought-after locations. Overlooking stunning open green spaces and picturesque parklands, this exceptional period home offers a rare combination of historic character, modern comfort and an idyllic setting.

Steeped in local history and forming part of the highly regarded Tudor Cottages, this unique property represents a wonderful opportunity to own a genuine piece of Upminster’s heritage. The cottages have a fascinating history, with Cottages 1, 2 and 3 originally forming part of the farmhouse, Cottages 4, 5 and 6 having previously served as cow sheds, and Cottages 7 and 8 originally being workers’ cottages. The historic origins of the development add an unmistakable sense of charm and individuality that is increasingly difficult to find in modern homes.

From the moment you arrive, the property immediately impresses with its attractive period appearance and picturesque surroundings. Nestled on the edge of beautiful parklands and open green spaces, the cottage enjoys a wonderfully peaceful and semi-rural feel, whilst remaining conveniently positioned for access to Upminster town centre and a comprehensive range of local amenities. This is a home that offers the best of both worlds — tranquil surroundings and a fantastic sense of community, without compromising on everyday convenience.

The property has been lovingly maintained and sympathetically updated, ensuring the original character and charm remain at the heart of the home while providing the comforts expected of modern living.

Upon entering, you are welcomed into a cosy and inviting lounge, where one of the property's real highlights takes centre stage, a stunning log burner that creates a wonderfully warm and atmospheric focal point. With its period proportions and characterful feel, this is an ideal space in which to relax, unwind and enjoy cosy evenings throughout the year.

The modern fitted kitchen provides a practical and stylish space for everyday cooking and entertaining, thoughtfully complementing the property's traditional features while offering the convenience of contemporary living.

To the first floor are two excellent-sized bedrooms, both providing comfortable and versatile accommodation, together with a well-appointed three-piece family bathroom.

Externally, the property continues to impress. The beautifully maintained, low-maintenance south-facing rear garden is a particular feature, offering an attractive private space in which to enjoy the sunshine, dine al-fresco or entertain friends and family. A charming summerhouse provides further versatility and could be used as a peaceful retreat, hobby space, home office or simply somewhere to enjoy the garden whatever the season. The property also benefits from one allocated parking space to the rear, providing an added level of convenience.

The location is equally appealing. The popular Huntsman and Hounds Gastropub is just 354ft away, providing a fantastic local option for dining and socialising. Families will also appreciate the excellent selection of nearby schools, including Corbets Tey School, approximately 0.1 miles away, Oakfields Preparatory School, approximately 0.2 miles away, and Gaynes School, approximately 0.7 miles away.

For those seeking a home with genuine character, history and individuality, this beautiful Tudor cottage is a particularly special proposition. Its Grade II Listed status, fascinating heritage, charming period features, attractive presentation, south-facing garden and enviable outlook combine to create a home that is both distinctive and highly desirable.

Properties of this nature and setting rarely become available, making an early viewing highly recommended. Offering an abundance of charm, history and character in one of Upminster’s most desirable locations, this exceptional Tudor cottage truly must be viewed to be fully appreciated.
