(Twin Beds)
The Space
Winton Cottage is an elegant and welcoming Victorian home, thoughtfully furnished for comfort and relaxation. The spacious open-plan living and dining area features a reclaimed timber dining table, comfortable leather lounge suite and cosy wood-burning fireplace. Central heating and cooling ensure a comfortable stay throughout the year.
Just a short stroll from Maldon’s historic main street, the cottage is surrounded by picturesque gardens, established trees and abundant birdlife. Two private terraces provide inviting spaces to enjoy a morning coffee, relax with a book or share an alfresco meal prepared on the gas BBQ.
With flexible sleeping arrangements and generous indoor and outdoor spaces, the cottage is equally suited to couples, families and groups of friends.
Property Details
Three Queen Bedrooms
The cottage features three beautifully appointed bedrooms, each with a high-quality queen-size bed and comfortable linen. The main bedroom includes a private en-suite bathroom, while the second and third bedrooms share a bathroom located across the hallway.
The Parlour
A peaceful retreat for reading or relaxing, the parlour features a quality daybed with sprung mattresses. When required, it can be converted into either a single or queen-size bed, offering flexible additional sleeping accommodation.
Private Studio Apartment
For larger groups, the private studio apartment provides additional accommodation with two single beds and its own bathroom. The studio is available for groups of seven or more guests, or when additional sleeping arrangements are required due to specific guest needs.
Three Bathrooms
There are three bathrooms in total: a private en-suite adjoining the main bedroom, a shared bathroom in the main house and a third bathroom within the studio apartment. Studio access depends on the confirmed accommodation arrangements.
Kitchen
The beautifully refurbished kitchen combines modern convenience with traditional character. Fully equipped for preparing meals, it includes a modern oven, stovetop, dishwasher, microwave and essential cookware. A carefully restored antique wood stove adds a lovely reminder of the cottage’s history and is decorative rather than functional.
For your convenience, basic pantry staples are provided, including olive oil, salt, pepper, vinegar, tea and coffee.
Living & Dining
The generous open-plan living and dining area is designed for spending time together. Gather around the reclaimed timber dining table, settle into the comfortable leather lounge suite or enjoy the warmth of the wood-burning fireplace on a chilly evening.
A large flat-screen television allows guests to access their own streaming subscriptions, while two sets of French doors open onto the gardens and terraces, bringing the outdoors into the home.
Gardens & Outdoor Living
Surrounded by established trees, cottage gardens and visiting birdlife, Winton Cottage offers two private outdoor terraces. One features a large dining table for relaxed alfresco meals, while the other provides comfortable lounge seating beneath the shade of a tree.
A gas BBQ is available for guests, making the outdoor spaces ideal for leisurely lunches, evening meals and enjoying Maldon’s peaceful country atmosphere.
