Coggeshall Hall is a rare, fully restored country house marrying 16th‑century fabric with refined Georgian proportions. Set within about 12 acres of formal gardens, meadow and woodland, the house offers spacious reception rooms, high ceilings, sash windows and original beams alongside contemporary finishes and a Bulthaup kitchen with AGA. The principal suite overlooks the grounds and additional attic and guest bedrooms give flexible family accommodation.
The estate includes substantial outbuildings: a c.3,800 sq ft barn, two art studios, garages and a small wellness building with jacuzzi and sauna — useful for hobbies, events or conversion (subject to listed‑building consent). The property is private and peaceful, accessed down a long tree‑lined drive, yet Kelvedon station is under a five‑minute drive with trains to London in under an hour.
Important practical points are clear: this is a Grade II listed building (works will require consent and may be constrained), broadband speeds are very slow, and council tax is described as very expensive. The house was built in 1575 and, although recently renovated throughout, the original solid brick walls likely lack modern cavity insulation and any future major works must respect the listed status.
This home will suit buyers seeking a grand, characterful family house or a buyer with scope to use the extensive outbuildings for income or leisure. It’s particularly attractive to those who value heritage, private outside space and proximity to strong local schools, while accepting the regulatory and running‑cost implications of a large listed country estate.
