Set on a quiet lane in central Coggeshall, this Grade II listed two-bedroom cottage blends historic character with practical comforts. Exposed beams, mullioned windows and an oak staircase retain period charm while an updated kitchen and well-presented interiors make the house immediately liveable. The private, paved courtyard is low-maintenance and ideal for outdoor seating or container plants.
The layout suits a downsizing buyer or couple seeking a low-upkeep town base: two double bedrooms on the upper floor, a first-floor bathroom, a cellar for storage and two allocated off-street parking spaces accessed at the lane end. Rooms are cosy with low ceilings and original features, which create atmosphere but limit major layout changes.
Buyers should note the property’s listed status — repairs, alterations and some modernisations will be subject to listed-building consent and can add cost and delay. Broadband speeds are slow in the area and there is a medium flood risk; both are practical considerations for working-from-home arrangements and insurance. Overall plot and interior size are modest, so this is best for purchasers who prioritise character and central location over expansive living space.
Coggeshall offers village amenities, good primary and secondary schools rated ‘Good’, and rail links to London via nearby stations. For anyone seeking a historic, move-in-ready home with parking and a low-maintenance garden in a prosperous small-town setting, this cottage is an attractive, authentic choice.
