Located within a short stroll of Coggeshall High Street, is this delightful period cottage, sympathetically extended in recent years creating a wonderful family home. The accommodation on the ground floor flows seamlessly between the kitchen and three reception areas. The front reception room is the ideal office/snug and features an exposed brick chimney and stairs leading to the first floor. The kitchen creates a sociable space and forms the hub of the ground floor. A range hand made, solid wood kitchen units surround an island unit cleverly designed around exposed timbers. There is plenty of room within the kitchen for a breakfast table and French doors open into the rear garden. Next to the kitchen is a pleasant living room with a central fireplace creating a focal point and fitted book shelving for storage. Leading off the living room is a bright dining room featuring a vaulted ceiling with exposed timbers and views of the lovely gardens.
On the first floor are two bedrooms and a large bathroom adapted to a wet room. A second staircase takes you up to a second floor where there is a large bedroom with exposed brick, timbers and fitted cupboard.
The garden at the cottage are a real feature and have been lovingly cared for over the years. A southerly aspect affords plenty of sun to cover the garden during the summer. From the rear of the property is a patio terrace leading to an extensive lawn. A range of fruit trees have been added alongside a pretty blossom tree. A raised decked area set under a pergola is the perfect place to relax and take in the garden and there are two sheds for storage. The garden is open to a parking area with space for several cars. The parking is accessed from Culvert Close and is a short stroll from Coggeshall High Street.
