D'arcy Road, Tiptree, Colchester, Essex, CO5

A handsome, double-fronted detached home set on a picturesque 0.2-acre plot, this Grade II listed property featuring excellent living space, including three reception rooms, generous bedrooms and a detached garage with a loft above. Offered chain-free.

Brook Cottage, located in Tolleshunt Knights, just a short drive from Tiptree, is a beautiful period home with all the character you'd expect from a 16th-century property—exposed beams, brick chimneys, and wooden floors.

The central porch opens into the entrance hall, with stairs leading to the first floor and doors to the ground-floor rooms. On the left is a spacious living room, perfect for relaxing by the log burner. Steps lead up to a study that includes access to a WC and an archway into the country-style kitchen, complete with handmade cabinetry and a butler sink. The kitchen has space for a freestanding range cooker and features a wooden door leading to a utility area. Steps down from the kitchen lead to the dining room.

Upstairs, there are four well-proportioned bedrooms—three spacious doubles, with a fitted storage cupboard in the main bedroom, and a single. A family bathroom includes a shower over the bath.

The house sits centrally on the 0.2-acre plot, with ample parking on the shingled driveway, leading to the detached garage. The garage provides excellent storage, a kitchen area, shower room, and stairs leading up to a loft room—ideal as a home office.

The gardens surrounding Brook Cottage offer a serene retreat. Behind the house is a covered patio and shingled area, with expansive lawns wrapping around the house, complemented by a decked seating area and garden shed.
