High Street, Kelvedon, COLCHESTER, Essex, CO5

Handsome Grade I listed home in the heart of Kelvedon, offering spacious accommodation with three reception rooms, an Aga kitchen, four bedrooms, a lovely garden, garage and parking.

An historically important Grade I Listed family home, this exceptional property sits proudly on Kelvedon High Street and is perfectly positioned for daily convenience, with local amenities and the mainline railway station just a short walk away. The home also benefits from off road parking.
Built in 1470, with sympathetic alterations in the 16th and late 18th Centuries, the house offers wonderfully balanced accommodation enriched with remarkable period features throughout — including a cellar which has been converted into a games room.
The entrance porch opens into the impressive sitting room, where a traditional staircase rises to the first floor. This inspiring space radiates warmth and character, with its high ceiling creating a true sense of grandeur. A striking red brick inglenook and inset log burning stove sits beautifully alongside original beams and a dual aspect with bay window.
The light and airy kitchen/dining room is accessed from the sitting room and enjoys a large skylight and attractive views over the garden. The kitchen features a range of well crafted units set beneath solid wooden worktops, a gas fired Aga nestled within the fireplace, an inset one and a half bowl sink, and space for appliances. Further characterful touches include exposed ceiling beams and a stable door leading out to the rear garden.
A further door leads to the family room— a wonderfully cosy reception room with ceiling and wall beams, a generous fireplace with wood bressummer an inset wood burner, and a side window. A cloakroom completes the ground floor accommodation.
From the kitchen, an electric retractable hatch provides access to the former wine cellar. Currently used as a games room. This superb additional space offers excellent versatility.
On the first floor sits the principal bedroom — a superb room with a cleverly designed en suite, featuring a curved shower enclosure that discreetly conceals the WC. This light and spacious room offers a dual aspect and ample space for freestanding wardrobes. A second bedroom, also a comfortable double, features an exposed brick chimney breast and fitted wardrobe. The family bathroom is also on this floor and includes a bath with shower over, along with a window overlooking the courtyard.
The second floor provides two further bedrooms, one accessed via the other. Both are comfortable doubles, with bedroom four also offering access to the main loft.
The rear garden offers a delightful space to relax and enjoy the warmer months. A patio area sits just off the kitchen, flowing into a block paved path that leads to a secondary seating area. The lawn extends towards the rear boundary, with a pathway continuing to a gated access. Adjacent to the garden is a barn style garage/workshop, with parking in front and access leading out to Church Street.
