Ivy Cottage, Stansted Mountfitchet - A Truly Unique Property
This fully renovated 2-bedroom detached cottage is the epitome of modern luxury combined with traditional charm. Located in the heart of Stansted Mountfitchet, just a 10-minute walk from Stansted's train station, which serves Liverpool St & Stansted Airport, and close to local amenities such as pubs, cafes, restaurants, and shops, this beautifully finished home offers a rare opportunity to own a home that has been lovingly restored and upgraded to the highest standards.
Due to work commitments, the current owners must part with their stunning creation, despite having intended to stay for over a decade.
From the moment you approach Ivy Cottage, you are greeted by the striking Chartwell Green Solidor front door with satin glass side window, setting the tone for the level of detail throughout. The front driveway provides parking for 2 vehicles, whilst the rear offers an additional parking space, a rare benefit for this area.
Interior Highlights
Upon entering, you are welcomed into a tastefully decorated entrance hallway featuring a striking black and white Victorian ceramic floor tile, which flows seamlessly from the hallway into the downstairs bathroom.
This dramatic flooring is complimented by the clever use of Farrow and Ball paints, which paired with the sleek black door frames, matching door handles, and staircase, adds a touch of colour and sophistication.
The downstairs cloakroom continues the theme of luxury with a natural marble worktop, emerald green wall-hung unit, and high-quality fixtures, including a HIB gnarled black mixer tap, geometric ceramic sink, and bespoke distressed mirror.
The Kitchen & Living Space
The open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area offers a seamless blend of contemporary style and functional living. The kitchen boasts high-spec integrated appliances, including:
Two Bosch ovens
An AEG washer-dryer
Bosch dishwasher
Induction hob
Wine fridge
Fridge-freezer
All complemented by Wren kitchen units and oak laminate flooring. The stunning breakfast bar leads into a cozy living area, bathed in natural light from the patio doors that open onto the garden.
The Garden
Stepping outside, the decked terrace provides the perfect space for relaxing or entertaining, surrounded by raised planters and with convenient side and rear access.
The garden is also home to a versatile summer house, previously a garage, that has been converted into a bright and airy workspace, ideal for a home office or studio. With its own skylight and additional storage, this space is as practical as it is charming.
Upstairs Living
The first floor is equally well-appointed, featuring a luxurious principal bedroom with large wardrobe spaces and a second double bedroom that could serve as a guest room, office, or dressing room.
The family bathroom continues the theme of elegance, with ceramic wood effect wall and floor tiles, a large double-ended bath, porcelain sink, and a beautiful Welsh slate worktop.

Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics, including Google Analytics cookies, to collect anonymous traffic data to help us analyze how members and visitors access and use PropertyHeads, and for other Analytics services relating to website activity and internet usage.
Third-Party Cookies From Content Shared By Members: PropertyHeads members may share content on PropertyHeads that originates from a third-party website or service, and that third-party website or service may set its own cookies when you interact with that content.

What Other Related Technologies Does PropertyHeads Use, and Why?
Tracking Pixels: Our advertising partners may use tracking pixels or similar technology to measure the success of the sponsored posts or other advertising products they use. A “tracking pixel” (also sometimes called web beacon, or clear GIF) is a tiny piece of code, invisible to the user, placed on a webpage or in an email and used in combination with a cookie, to link a given activity or impression back to the user; the advertiser includes it in its content so it can measure whether our members interact with that content (for example, by clicking to view an offer). We may set our own tracking pixel on an advertiser’s website so we can measure whether our members found the advertiser’s content effective or interesting, by tracking whether the sponsored post prompted members to take advantage of the advertised offer. This information helps us assess whether sponsored posts and other advertising offers are relevant and interesting to our members and successful for the advertiser.
