Brockwell Lane, Kelvedon, Colchester, Essex, CO5

Ivy Cottage is a detached family home of generous proportions located in a non estate position on the fringe of Kelvedon village centre.


A Generously Proportioned Modern Family Home in a Private Setting

This detached family home forms one of just three similar properties, built within the last 15 years by a well-regarded local developer known for creating high-quality, small-scale developments.

Set back from the road and accessed via a private driveway, the property offers excellent off-road parking and a pleasantly secluded setting. Inside, the home is more spacious than it first appears, with four well-proportioned bedrooms and a versatile layout ideal for modern family living.

A welcoming reception hall leads through to a generous sitting room with double doors opening onto the rear garden. The ground floor also includes a separate study or playroom, a cloakroom suite, and a stylish open-plan kitchen and dining area—created by skilfully incorporating the former garage into the main living space.

Upstairs there is a light-filled gallery landing with an airing cupboard which has a fitted heater enclosed. This is enhanced by a large arched side window, providing access to four comfortable bedrooms. The main bedroom benefits from a fitted dressing table and cupboards, an en-suite shower room, while the family bathroom is fitted with both a bath and a large double shower enclosure. Bedroom 4 which is currently used as a dressing room also has fully fitted wardrobes and a desk unit.

The rear garden enjoys a sunny southerly aspect and features mature planting, raised beds, and an established Olive tree—offering a peaceful outdoor retreat. There is also a good sized shed attached to the house.

This is a superbly presented and thoughtfully designed home, ideally located for families seeking space, privacy, and convenience.
