Summary - FLEUR COTTAGE COLCHESTER ROAD ARDLEIGH COLCHESTER CO7 7NP
1 bed 1 bath Terraced
Characterful one-bedroom home with garden, parking and low council tax.
Grade II listed timber‑framed cottage with genuine period character
This Grade II listed timber‑framed cottage offers a compact, characterful one‑bedroom home in sought-after Ardleigh. Exposed beams, a brick fireplace and period details give genuine charm, while a modern fitted kitchen and bathroom add everyday practicality. The layout suits a single person, couple, or downsizer looking for a ready-to-live-in countryside base.
Practical benefits include a private enclosed rear garden, off‑street parking for at least two vehicles and fast broadband with excellent mobile signal—useful for remote working or staying connected. Council tax is very low, and the village setting provides easy access to local shops, pubs and countryside walks, with Colchester a short drive away for rail and wider amenities.
Important constraints: the property is Grade II listed and mainly timber‑framed, which will restrict extension and some alteration options and may increase maintenance costs. The walls are assumed to have no insulation, and there is a medium flood risk to note; buyers should obtain specialist surveys and insurance advice. The seller needs to secure an onward purchase, which may affect timing.
Overall this is a compact, character-led home with immediate curb appeal and practical parking and garden space. It is best suited to buyers who value period character, accept listed‑building constraints, and want a low-maintenance countryside bolt‑hole or starter home rather than a large family residence.
