Church Street, Coggeshall, Essex, CO6

Undeniably one of the most prominent and individual residences in the village, this fine family home sits on a plot of 1.25 acres and is located in a prime position in the heart Coggeshall


Coggeshall House, a fine example of a grade II listed property of historic importance dating back in part to the 1300s. It was significantly altered during the Arts and Crafts Movement of the late 1800s and is now a substantial 9 bedroom home standing on a plot extending to 1.25 acres.
It is located in the heart of this commutable village which offers a range of amenities including fine dining, numerous public houses and ample shopping facilities.
You enter through the solid Oak door into a vestibule opening to a welcoming reception hall currently used as a games room with open fireplace and split entry staircase leading to a magnificent galleried landing. This flows freely into the music room and in turn through to the drawing room with two pairs of French doors providing double aspect either side of the centrally positioned fireplace.
There are four further reception rooms on the ground floor which include a dining room with floor to ceiling sash windows and open fireplace, a study, sitting room and breakfast room located off the kitchen with walk-in pantry.
In addition to the reception rooms there is a utility room, laundry room, second kitchen, gym, stable, store room and ground floor WC. There is even a lift (currently not in use) to the first floor.
The ground floor boasts many fine and architecturally interesting details including ornate cornicing and carvings, high ceilings, deep skirtings, large doorways and solid panelled doors.
The bedrooms are split over two floors with three bedrooms and shower room in the West wing (formally the servant's quarters). This wing has it's own front door and separate staircase and is joined to the East wing by a first floor corridor that can be locked to create a separate self-contained annex.
There are four further primary bedrooms (two en-suite) on the first floor including a most impressive master suite with twin bay windows and fireplace mirroring that of the drawing room below. The two attic bedrooms are of an ample size, have a good head height and make for perfect bedrooms or accessible storage areas.
With many mature specimen trees and extensive lawns this partly walled garden has a parkland feel to it and is quite secluded. A large balustraded terrace extends across the rear of the property and adjoins a characterful walled courtyard area which leads to the gym, stable, breakfast room and laundry room.
There is ample parking behind iron gates which is accessed via Nunns Close.
