Chapel Lane, Great Bromley, CO7

Tucked away near the end of a quiet country lane in the charming village of Great Bromley, this enchanting two-bedroom semi-detached cottage blends rustic elegance with everyday comfort in a quiet environment. Approached via a sweeping 170ft mature front garden, the home enjoys a tranquil setting backing directly onto open farmland - a rare find that promises peace, privacy, and a daily connection to nature.

Step inside and you’re immediately embraced by the warmth of period character. The living room is a heart-stealing space, with exposed red brickwork, classic timber beams, and a wood-burning stove nestled beneath a solid timber mantel. It's a place where winter evenings are spent with a good book, and morning light filters through deep cottage windows, illuminating the textures and history etched into every surface. Adjacent to the living room is a compact study area with a window overlooking the garden.

The kitchen, thoughtfully hand-crafted with solid units and generous worktops, offers a delightful view across the rear garden to the countryside beyond- a charming vista that changes with the seasons. A spacious cupboard offers practical storage, while a side hall links to the bathroom and outdoor space, maintaining the cottage’s easy, functional flow.

Upstairs, both bedrooms carry the same warmth and personality as the living spaces below. The principal bedroom is a serene double with timber wall features and leafy views, while the second, equally inviting, benefits from a dormer window that overlooks the garden. Even the landing exudes charm, with exposed brickwork and beams offering a lovely nod to the home's history.

Outside, there's ample room to relax or grow - with potential for rear extension (STPP, neighbours have set a precedent) for those seeking to create more space.

Off-street parking for at least two vehicles adds practicality, and there’s scope to expand parking requirements further if needed. In addition to this there is a metal garage present.

Offered with no onward chain, this characterful cottage is perfect for those dreaming of a life less ordinary - a peaceful countryside retreat that retains the soul and story of its past.
