The Old Cottage

The Old Cottage is a delightful Grade II listed property, which dates back to the 17th Century, and was significantly and sympathetically extended in the 20th Century to provide over 2,000 sq ft of accommodation. The entrance hall creates a wonderful pivot point to allow access to the drawing room with exposed timbers and is a naturally light room owing to the lattice windows, an intimate and cosy sitting room with open fireplace, similar exposed timbers and double aspect views.

A formal dining room with brick fireplace and ample room for entertaining, giving access immediately to the open plan kitchen/breakfast room, which is fitted with integrated appliances, wooden units and plenty of storage, an adjacent utility room and two doors out to the stunning gardens. There is also a downstairs cloakroom, additional storage space and boiler cupboard. Upstairs, in the original West part of the property provides the principal bedroom with storage and sink, two further bedrooms and a family bathroom. The east elevation offers another two double bedrooms with a further bathroom.

The property is encircled by its lovely formal gardens with raised beds, laid lawn and established hedged borders, south facing alfresco dining terrace all boasting stunning far reaching views. Further to this, is an outside heated swimming pool, enclosed by hedged borders. Further orchards, kitchen garden and laid lawn, all consisting of around 1.25 acres. To the front provides a gravelled driveway, ample parking for around 5/6 cars, double garaging, coal/woodstore and pump room.

The Old Cottage occupies a peaceful location in Skye Green in the village of Feering, mid-way between Colchester and Chelmsford, within easy reach of the historic town of Coggeshall which offers a variety of shops, pubs, a post office and highly regarded restaurants, with a market every Thursday which has been a regular event since 1256. Kelvedon mainline station is 3 miles away with services to London's Liverpool Street. There are excellent schools within easy reach in both the private and public sector including Felsted and New Hall, Holmwood House Prep School, St Mary's and the Grammar Schools in Chelmsford and Colchester.
