Set in the heart of Dedham, this Grade II listed C18 cottage blends historic character with a substantial contemporary extension. The vaulted, lantern-lit kitchen/family room forms the sociable centre of the house, while original timbers and brick fireplaces give other reception rooms a cosy, period feel.
Arranged over multiple levels, the house offers four bedrooms, two bathrooms and three reception rooms plus a study and utility/boot room — flexible space for family life and home working. Large south-facing glazing in the extension provides strong indoor–outdoor flow onto lawns and mature planting within a plot of about 0.25 acres (STS).
Practical details suit modern living: double glazing installed post-2002, mains gas boiler and radiators, a cartlodge/garage and off-street parking. The home is sizeable (approximately 2,773 sq ft) and sits in a low-crime, affluent village with good schools nearby.
Important considerations: the Grade II listing protects the building and will restrict exterior and historic fabric alterations; any works require listed‑building consent. Council tax is high and broadband is average — buyers wanting high-speed working-from-home connections may need to upgrade. Overall, this property will suit a family seeking a character home with contemporary living spaces, accepting the responsibilities of listed ownership.
