We are pleased to offer this spacious family home located in the heart of the historic village of Coggeshall. It dates back in part to the 14th century but was mostly constructed in the 1600s and has many of the period features you would associate with this era.
You enter the house into a welcoming reception hall that opens to an attractive dining room and leads through the house and opens into a spectacular, vaulted main hall with galleried landing.
From the main hall you can enter the sitting room through glazed double doors. The sitting room is a lovely space with exposed brick fireplace and open hearth. There are two sash windows to the front which flood the room with natural light. At the rear of the house is a pleasant garden room with a door leading to the rear garden. The kitchen is a useable space with a large pantry cupboard a range of fitted cupboards and a gas fired AGA.

On the first floor there are two bedrooms, a family bathroom and separate shower room. There is also another room which provides access to the 2nd floor bedrooms as well as the primary bedroom. In the agent's opinion this room could be partitioned to provide a 5th bedroom. The 2nd floor has two double bedrooms both with ample head height.
The walled rear garden has a pleasant Southerly aspect and is mostly unoverlooked. There are mature shrubs a lawn, pathway leading to the rear of the garden where a shed is located.
