Summary - 7, BIRCH STREET, COLCHESTER, NAYLAND CO6 4JA
4 bed 2 bath End of Terrace
Grade II listed timber-framed cottage with strong period character
Set in a sought-after Suffolk village, this Grade II listed timber-framed home blends historic character with comfortable family living. Exposed beams, leaded windows and a cast-iron log burner give instant period charm, while a large kitchen, separate lounge and dining/study provide practical everyday space. The principal bedroom includes an en-suite and there is attic/loft space for flexible use.
The sunny south-easterly rear garden is a real asset: secluded, well stocked and with a paved patio and two garden sheds — ideal for outdoor entertaining, children or pets. The property is presented in good order throughout with recent new carpeting in key areas, so it’s ready to occupy with minimal immediate work.
Important practical points are stated plainly: the house is Grade II listed, which preserves its character but may restrict alterations and complicate maintenance; there is no off-road parking; heating is oil-fired; and no EPC rating is available. These factors are important for budgeting and future plans.
For families seeking village life close to good local amenities — primary school, village shop, pub by the River Stour and easy road links to Colchester and Sudbury — this home offers a rare mix of period features, usable garden and sensible living space. Investors or buyers seeking major modernisation should note the limitations imposed by listed status.
