Smugglers Cottage, North Fambridge – A Charming Slice of History

Step into a piece of local heritage with this stunning detached timber-framed cottage, originally built in 1809. Nestled in the tranquil village of North Fambridge, Smugglers Cottage beautifully blends character and charm with modern convenience. The cottage benefits from not having listed status, and therefore has the flexibility that comes with this. The village offers a train station with good links into London, a lovely pub, marina's and a marina bar all within walking distance.

Boasting 3 generously sized bedrooms and 1 smaller bedroom which is currently setup as a home office, this room also has plumbing for a toilet and basin so you could easily switch the room into an upstairs WC if required. This delightful home is full of period features, including two large central brick-built chimneys that anchor its historic heart. The interior offers a modern and bright, fitted kitchen, complete with Miele and Bosch appliances, and a Rangemaster double oven cooker with induction hob.

The family bathroom is a tranquil space offering a roll top bath and separate shower.

The dining room features a mini bar installation for convenience and entertaining. A good sized lounge features French doors leading out to the south facing garden for when the sun is shining, and a large brick built chimney complete with log burner for cosy winter nights in. Going through past the chimney reveals a separate area which is currently setup as a children’s play room.

Set within a large, well-maintained plot, the outdoor space is ideal for families, entertaining, or simply enjoying peaceful countryside living. There are 3 garden sheds for storage. A spacious gravel driveway provides ample parking for many vehicles and leads to a large garage with space for two cars, as well as a workshop area – perfect for hobbyists or extra storage.
