Summary - 22 HIGH STREET EARLS COLNE COLCHESTER CO6 2PA
2 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Cosy two-bedroom home with workshop and studio potential.
Grade II listed cottage in village centre; listing restricts alterations
An appealing Grade II listed two-bedroom semi‑detached cottage in the heart of Earls Colne, offering pronounced period character and a compact, village-centre plot. Exposed beams, a cosy fireplace and original sash windows create a warm, authentic interior that suits someone seeking low‑maintenance, characterful accommodation close to local shops and amenities.
The house benefits from a south‑facing courtyard garden laid to shingle, plus a detached workshop with power and lighting and a studio/annex above — useful as a hobby room, home office or occasional guest space. Ultrafast broadband is available, making the property practical for remote working despite limited mobile coverage.
Buyers should note the property’s constraints: Grade II listing will restrict alterations and could complicate refurbishment; the solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated and heating is via electric storage heaters, so energy upgrades will be constrained and potentially costly. The frontage and external joinery show dated areas and will need maintenance.
This home suits downsizers or buyers prioritising village location and original features over expansive living space. The footprint is small-to-average, with modest bedrooms and lower-than-standard ceilings in parts — a trade-off for a central, characterful cottage with outbuilding potential.
