THE PROPERTY
Tucked away at the end of a secluded private close, in the sought-after village of Coggeshall, with its thriving and vibrant rural community, this beautifully presented family home is situated in a prime location.

Peaceful and hidden away, yet within just a short stroll of the centre of the village and all its amenities; cafés, pubs, restaurants, butcher and greengrocer and the weekly market. The area is well known for its excellent schools, both state and private, with a number of schools providing a daily minibus service from the village.

Excellent commuter links to London are provided by the local community bus, which runs at peak times, to Kelvedon mainline station, with an average journey time of 50 minutes into London Liverpool Street Station.

Through the front door, this property immediately exudes a welcoming sense of 'home'. Immaculate throughout, well-proportioned and designed, all the rooms flow seamlessly from the generous hallway, with its built-in coat cupboard and essential guest cloakroom.

The snug/study and sitting room, are light and airy due to their double aspect, with bay windows to the front of the house and French doors leading onto an extensive mature garden to the side and to the rear. The sitting room in particular is a room for all seasons, with its warm oak floor and log burner housed in an impressive inglenook fireplace with reclaimed 18th century bressummer beam.

The heart of any home is its kitchen, and this contemporary shaker style kitchen/diner with double butler sink is very much the hub of family life, but also a convivial space for entertaining with a fantastic central island, and space for a table large enough to seat all your guests.

The kitchen is kept heated and cosy all winter by the two-oven Aga but, once summer arrives, the main Aga can be switched off allowing the additional electric ovens and gas hob to come into their own. With yet another set of French doors leading onto a beautifully sunny south facing terrace, the kitchen is cool and bright.

A well-equipped utility room, with plenty of storage leads off the kitchen with a handy back door to the garden; ideal access for those with muddy boots.

Next to the kitchen is currently a formal dining room, with views overlooking the garden; an ideal space to create a smart office for those leading a more flexible 'work from home' lifestyle.

Upstairs, the four spacious bedrooms are airy and calm and include a master suite and a guest suite. The master bedroom is generous, with views onto the garden; two large built-in wardrobes, and benefits from a sizeable en suite shower room, with his and hers basins and large linen cupboard. The guest suite also boasts a large built-in wardrobe with en suite shower room.

The remaining two bedrooms are serviced by a lovely family bathroom, complete with tongue and groove panelling. All bathrooms are fitted with heated towel rails.

Set in just under an acre of grounds, provides the property with ample space for the double garage and parking for a number of vehicles on the gravel driveway. A side gate next to the garage, along with a set of large iron double gates to the side of the property allows access to the rear garden.

The mature and tranquil garden is one of the highlights of this property. Two sunny seating areas overlook the extensive lawn with its row of magnificent trees. Coupled with fruit trees, a raised kitchen garden and an area set aside for wildflowers, it's a haven for birds and wildlife.

This beautiful home offers the modern family everything they could possibly need.

 

SELLER'S INSIGHT
"The location was a big attraction for us initially. Set in the heart of a leafy, green conservation area, the property can be found right in the middle of this friendly village and sits within a plot of just under 1 acre. The mature garden is not overlooked and feels so rural, yet we're only 5 minutes' walk away from the village and all the amenities it has to offer," say the owners.

"We've lived here for 20 years and have enjoyed being part of the vibrant community. There's something here for everyone to enjoy, including exercise classes, Scouts, Guides, and concerts at the church. We have a weekly market on the square and always enjoy the annual Christmas events culminating in carols around the tree on Christmas eve. The village also has an award-winning GP surgery, library, greengrocer, butchers, pubs, cafes and a community bus which takes you to the station in Kelvedon from where we enjoy easy access into London. There are lots of country walks and National Trust properties in the local vicinity to explore too."

"Our garden is surrounded by mature trees which are a natural attraction for wildlife, including birds and even a little hedgehog community. There are several patio areas offering sunny or shady spots to sit and relax in the summer and the lawned area has a wildflower meadow in the middle which is particularly beautiful in spring. The garden is ideal for entertaining as there's plenty of space for children to play and we've celebrated big birthdays and special anniversaries here with large marquees on the lawn. We've also enjoyed growing our own vegetables in the raised bed and the fruit trees produce a good harvest too."

"This is a house for all seasons. In winter, you'll find us in the main sitting room with the large inglenook fireplace and log burner, whilst the summer months are spent with the windows and French doors open to the garden. The rooms are always light, bright, and airy, no matter what time of year it is. The home office / study has a bay window and doors offering views of the garden, so it's a lovely space in which to work. It's very flexible too and could easily be used as a snug or other reception room. It's always a pleasure to come back home to the calm and quiet ambience."
