Welcome to Rose Cottage. Completely idyllic this two double bedroom Grade II listed home has been beautifully restored and preserved, enhancing its character and charm. Perfectly positioned overlooking the village green, this is a very special place to call home.

Some homes are made to leave a special impression, and this is one of those homes. Dating to the early 1800s, Rose Cottage has been sympathetically preserved and modernised to create a home with beauty and function combined. From the start it gets a big tick. Weatherboard exterior, white picket fence, driveway and gorgeous planting - kerb appeal is in abundance. Step inside to find much of the same - a home packed with style and charm, from the original oak beams, to the brick fireplaces and casement windows. Across the ground floor find a living room with adjoining diner, plus a gorgeous sun room that’s awash with light and opening onto the garden beyond. The vaulted kitchen comes complete with timeless shaker cabinetry and aga. A study and WC complete the ground floor.

Upstairs both double bedrooms are filled with character and charm, with exposed rafters and original beams. The primary bedroom is lovely and fresh with bespoke fitted wardrobes in a gorgeous shade of green, which continues through to the ensuite bathroom that’s complete with its roll top tub. On warmer days, when only a refreshing shower will do, the separate shower room is a great addition.

Outside the south facing private garden is full of joy, with patio, lawn and pergola with bbq area, providing a lovely shady spot. What’s more, there’s also a lovely summer house providing a great outdoor retreat. New memories await here!

Matching Green is a beautiful spot to call home. Surrounded by picturesque countryside and sat just a short drive to Epping, Harlow, Ongar and Sawbridgeworth, it’s easy to see why it’s often considered one of the prettiest villages in Essex. Our local recommendation is of course the much-loved Chequers restaurant and bar - a stunning place to visit all the year through. And what’s more, with one of the largest village greens in Essex, along with its welcoming Primary School and historic Cricket Club, there’s a lovely community feel. All told - a very special place to call home.
