Characterful two‑bed cottage with garden, parking and field views in peaceful Chappel.
South‑west facing rear garden with direct field views
This mid-terraced cottage in Chappel offers a compact, characterful home for a first-time buyer or downsizer who values village life. The lounge with exposed brick chimney and multi‑fuel stove creates a cosy hub, while the adjacent garden room and south‑west facing garden deliver afternoon sun and direct field views. Off‑street parking for two vehicles is a practical rarity for a cottage of this size.
The handmade kitchen/diner and built‑in wardrobes add charm and usable storage; total accommodation includes two bedrooms plus a small study, a ground‑floor three‑piece bathroom and useful loft/landing storage. The property is freehold, circa 840 sq ft internally, with good mobile signal, fast broadband and very low local crime — strengths for remote working or rental use.
Buyers should note this is a traditional solid‑brick cottage built before 1900. There is no evidence of cavity wall insulation and the double glazing was installed before 2002, so upgrading insulation and heating efficiency would be sensible next steps. The EPC is modest (E), and the internal layout and finishes are typical of an older cottage — ideal for those happy to personalise but likely needing some modernisation to maximise comfort and energy performance.
Overall this is a well‑located, characterful village cottage with parking, south‑west garden aspect and field views. It suits buyers seeking a ready-to-live-in home with scope for targeted improvements, or investors wanting a lettable village property with good transport links to Colchester and beyond.
