Summary - LAMB COTTAGE BIRCHWOOD ROAD DEDHAM COLCHESTER CO7 6ED
4 bed 3 bath Detached
Large private plot backing parkland, ideal for family living or refurbishment.
Four double bedrooms, two en-suites and family bathroom
Lamb Cottage is an attractively proportioned four-bedroom detached home set on a large plot backing onto parkland in the picturesque Dedham area. The house offers flexible living with three reception rooms, a large open-plan kitchen/dining/living extension with skylights and French doors, and a ground-floor double bedroom with en-suite — useful for guests or multi-generational living. A substantial detached garden store/studio with power and light adds practical value for hobbies or home working.
The property sits privately behind hedging with ample shingle parking for several cars and well-stocked lawns and borders. The layout retains traditional character throughout — fireplaces, built-in wardrobes and period proportions — while the kitchen benefits from island storage and integrated appliances. The oil-fired boiler provides heating and the greenhouse houses the tank, while some double glazing improves efficiency in parts of the house.
Buyers should note practical considerations: heating is oil-fired (tank located in the greenhouse), the EPC is D and the property has only partial double glazing, so running costs and future improvement works are possible. Council Tax is band F and therefore relatively expensive. The size and layout offer refurbishment potential to modernise heating, insulation and cosmetic finishes to improve comfort and efficiency.
Located about a mile from Dedham village with good local amenities, countryside walks and access to the A12, Lamb Cottage will suit buyers seeking a spacious family home in a rural, affluent setting or purchasers wanting to add value through sympathetic updating. Its combination of flexible accommodation, large plot and private setting makes it appealing to families and those seeking country living within easy reach of Colchester and commuter links.
