Fen Street, Nayland, Colchester

SUMMARY



Offered with no onward chain 7 Fen Street, Nayland, is a charming Grade II listed cottage in the heart of Nayland's conservation area.

Full of character and period detail, the property enjoys a delightful outlook over the pretty stream that forms part of the River Stour.

With three welcoming reception rooms, two bedrooms, kitchen, family bathroom and cloakroom, as well as covered off-road parking and a south-facing garden, it offers the perfect blend of heritage and everyday comfort.  

THE COTTAGE


Set on one of Nayland's most picturesque lanes, 7 Fen Street immediately impresses with its solid wooden front door flanked by twin columns. Inside, the cosy sitting room features a bottled-gas fire with attractive surround and built-in bookcases and storage - an inviting retreat at any time of year.

To the rear, a bright garden room opens through French doors onto the patio and south-facing garden, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living.

The dining room at the front of the cottage enjoys views over Fen Street and could easily be reimagined as a third bedroom if required.

The kitchen, located at the rear, is well laid out with an integrated oven, hob and extractor, space and plumbing for a freestanding dishwasher and fridge-freezer, and a good array of cupboards and drawers.

A cloakroom with wc and handbasin completes the ground-floor accommodation.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom is a spacious dual-aspect double with built-in wardrobes and views to both front and rear.

The second bedroom, also with built-in storage, is a comfortably sized single to the front.

The five-piece family bathroom offers a bath with shower mixer attachment, separate shower cubicle, handbasin set within a vanity unit, bidet and wc.
 

OUTSIDE SPACE

To the side of the cottage, a covered parking area accommodates one vehicle, and with a little modification could be opened up to create space for a second. The oil tank sits neatly to the rear of the driveway.

The garden is mainly laid to lawn with mature beds and borders adding colour and interest.

A patio immediately outside the house makes the most of the southerly aspect - perfect for enjoying a morning coffee, relaxing in the sun, or entertaining family and friends.

A useful garden shed with power connected houses the oil-fired boiler and there is space and plumbing for a free standing washing machine.
