Leeze House is one of Coggeshall’s most striking modern homes – individually designed and built to a high standard, yet with all the charm and symmetry of a period façade. The double-fronted elevation, with its sash windows gives a real sense of presence on East Street.

Inside, a generous hallway opens into a choice of reception spaces and is complete with a sitting area with double doors opening to the rear garden.

There is a formal sitting room with triple aspects and an open fireplace, a handy study area with fitted bookshelves and a snug, as well a formal dining room with roof lantern that links directly to the kitchen.

The kitchen has been remodelled and extended to create a highly functional and sociable space, fitted with a comprehensive range of bespoke cabinetry, a central island and a bay window framing views over the south-facing rear garden.

On the first floor you’ll find the principal bedroom with its own dressing area and en suite, along with three further bedrooms and a family bathroom.

The second floor provides two more double bedrooms and an additional bathroom – making this a house that works just as well for a growing family as it does for those who love to host.

To the front, electronic wrought-iron gates open to a broad paved driveway and courtyard with ample parking. The rear garden is a real feature – lovingly maintained and cleverly divided by a red-brick wall, separating a formal garden immediately behind the house from a more natural, wild garden. From here, there is access onto the Essex Way and even a charming brook, crossed by a small bridge.
