East View, Crown Street, Dedham, Colchester, CO7

Set on Crown Street in the heart of Dedham, this semi-detached cottage offers an outstanding village setting with open meadow views to the rear. The cottage benefits from well-proportioned accommodation throughout. Front and rear gardens frame the property, with the back garden providing a private outdoor space that feels open and connected to the surrounding landscape. The property also benefits from planning approval for single storey and first floor rear extension and new vehicular access under Colchester planning reference 161729.

The cottage is set behind a neat front garden with a central path leading to the entrance, creating a pleasant approach and a clear sense of arrival.
The sitting room benefits from a feature fireplace and a view towards Crown Street. This room sets the tone for the rest of the house, combining period character with a simple, practical layout.
Beyond this lies a generous family room and dining area, where a large window and overhead skylight draw in natural light and help to connect the space with the garden. The two rooms work well together but can also serve separate purposes, giving flexibility to suit day-to-day life. At the rear, the kitchen provides a well-organised workspace with good storage and preparation areas. A stable door opens directly to the garden, providing easy access to the outside.
The cloakroom completes the ground floor accommodation.
The first floor provides two double bedrooms, each with good natural light and an attractive outlook. Both rooms feature an ornate fireplace that reflects the character of the original cottage, and each bedroom offers comfortable proportions. The bathroom is a generous space, finished with a freestanding bath, separate shower and exposed brickwork that adds a traditional touch. Its size and layout make it a practical and appealing room.
To the rear, the garden opens onto a patio area beneath a covered pergola, creating a sheltered spot close to the house for enjoying the outdoor space throughout the year. The lawn stretches towards the boundary fence, where the view opens across the adjoining meadow and gives the garden a wider sense of space. A timber outbuilding sits to one side and provides useful additional room for storage or hobby use, adding further versatility to the outside area.
