Little Braxted, CM8 3JY

Positioned along one of Little Braxted's most sought-after tree-lined roads, Oak Cottage is a beautifully extended and impeccably presented detached home, offering an exceptional balance of character, space and modern family living. Set behind a generous frontage with ample parking, the property immediately conveys a sense of arrival, while to the rear, the house opens out into a wonderfully private and established garden—thoughtfully landscaped and enjoying a high degree of seclusion. The accommodation has been carefully extended and reconfigured to suit modern lifestyles, with the heart of the home undoubtedly being the impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and family space. Bathed in natural light from roof lanterns and wide tri-folding doors, this area provides a superb setting for both everyday living and entertaining, seamlessly connecting the inside with the garden beyond. Complementing this, the ground floor offers a range of versatile reception spaces, including a generous sitting room with feature fireplace, a separate games room, and a study—ideal for those working from home. A well-appointed utility room and cloakroom add to the practicality of the layout. Upstairs, the sense of space continues with a well-proportioned landing leading to five bedrooms. The principal suite is particularly impressive, featuring a spacious bedroom and a beautifully appointed en-suite. A second bedroom also benefits from its own en-suite, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a stylish family bathroom. Throughout the home, there is a clear attention to detail, with a tasteful blend of contemporary finishes and subtle character touches that give the property a warm and inviting feel. Externally, the rear garden is a true highlight—mature, private and well established, with a generous lawn, paved entertaining areas and an abundance of planting that provides year-round interest.
