Summary - FIRTREE COTTAGES 2 STONE ROAD GREAT BROMLEY COLCHESTER CO7 7TX
4 bed 2 bath Semi-Detached
Characterful 4-bed cottage on 0.56 acre plot with study and summerhouse.
Four well-proportioned bedrooms and two bathrooms
A handsome period cottage dating from around 1800, set on an unusually large plot of approximately 0.56 acres (STS) in the quiet village of Great Bromley. The house combines original character — exposed timbers, beamed sitting room and stone chimney breast — with a useful 1980s extension that provides a generous kitchen/dining room, walk-in larder and a separate study ideal for home working.
Accommodation is arranged over two storeys and includes four well-proportioned bedrooms, a family bathroom on the ground floor with roll-top bath, and a first-floor shower room. Practical features include plentiful off-street parking on a long gravel drive, a summerhouse/studio, woodstore and several timber sheds. The garden is predominantly lawn with mature and fruit trees, a stone terrace and open views towards farmland — offering space for family life, gardening or small-scale hobby farming.
Buyers should note the house is heated by an oil-fired boiler (not a community supply) and the walls are assumed to have partial cavity insulation; double glazing is present but install dates are unknown. These facts, together with the age of the property, mean some updating or ongoing maintenance may be required. Mobile signal is average and the local area is classed as an ageing rural neighbourhood within wider established farming communities; local deprivation metrics are higher than average despite low crime and good nearby schools.
For families seeking a characterful, spacious home with sizeable grounds and countryside privacy, this property offers a rare plot size and versatile spaces. Investors or purchasers wanting a low-maintenance modern home should be aware of the period fabric and fuel/insulation considerations before viewing.
