4 bed detached house for sale

Broad Green, Coggeshall, Colchester, Essex CO6

Dating back to the early Victorian era, Bramley Cottage has been thoughtfully extended over the years to create a well-proportioned family home, set within grounds of around one-third of an acre. While the property would now benefit from sympathetic modernisation, it retains great character and offers an excellent opportunity for buyers to shape it to their own taste.

Bramley Cottage is tucked away in the semi-rural hamlet of Broad Green, on the outskirts of the sought-after village of Coggeshall.

Dating back to the Victorian era, the property retains much of the character and charm you would expect from a home of this period. Standing on a generous plot of around one-third of an acre, it enjoys far-reaching countryside views to both the front and rear.

While the cottage would now benefit from sympathetic modernisation and offers excellent scope for extension (subject to planning), it already provides well-arranged accommodation.

You are welcomed into a centrally positioned porch, which leads to the sitting room and kitchen on either side. The sitting room is light and welcoming, featuring a half-bay window to the front and French doors opening to the rear garden. The kitchen/breakfast room also enjoys a bright outlook to the front and includes a rear door, with a separate dining room leading directly off it, making for a flexible eating or additional reception space.

Adjoining the kitchen is a useful wet room and a utility area.

Upstairs, the first floor provides four generous bedrooms along with a spacious family bathroom, all benefitting from pleasant views over the gardens or the open countryside beyond.

Externally, Bramley Cottage offers ample off-road parking along with a side garage. The rear garden is a wonderful space, well established with mature trees and planting, and features a pergola with a trained grapevine, a pond, and a summerhouse.
