Beautifully restored Victorian end terrace in historic Coggeshall, featuring period charm, a cosy living room with log burner, two bedrooms, a heritage-style bathroom, and a south-facing garden with workshop and utility room.
This delightful Victorian cottage is just a short walk from the historic village of Coggeshall, which offers a wide variety of local amenities including pubs, tea rooms and independent shops.
The end terrace cottage has been carefully restored by the current owners, who have sympathetically upgraded the property while preserving its charming period features.
Entering via a shared lobby, you are welcomed into a cosy and inviting living room. An original fireplace with log burner creates an attractive focal point, while the sash window offers a further glimpse into the character of this lovely home. There is useful storage built into the chimney alcove, and a timber ledged and braced door leads through to the kitchen.
In the kitchen, your eye is immediately drawn to the beautiful original brick floor, rich with historic wear. The thoughtfully designed layout provides good storage, complemented by an oak worktop. There is a fitted oven with electric hob, a butler-style sink, and space for a fridge freezer beneath the stairs. Double doors open to the garden, and stairs rise to the first floor.
Adjacent to the kitchen is a recently redesigned bathroom fitted with a heritage style suite, including a rain shower over the bath.
Upstairs, you’ll find two lovely bedrooms with differing aspects. The larger bedroom is a generous double offering space for free standing wardrobes and features a charming fireplace. The second bedroom can also accommodate a double bed and enjoys a lovely outlook over the garden and the wooded area beyond.
The rear garden is a real delight, enjoying a southerly aspect. French doors open onto a patio area, with a lawn and pathway leading to the rear. A beautiful brick wall borders the left-hand side, and there is a brick store and workshop at the end of the garden. A particularly useful addition is the utility room, built to the side of the cottage. This heated space includes a work surface, pantry cupboard and a ceiling mounted clothes airer—ideal for drying laundry.
