The Old Brewery House, Coggeshall
A rare opportunity to own a part of Coggeshall’s rich history, No. 21 The Old Brewery House forms part of a distinguished 18th-century building that originally served as both a home and working brewery. Now thoughtfully divided into three characterful residences, the property retains much of its period charm.

No. 21 stands out with its elegant late 19th-century bay window, two tall early 19th-century sash windows on the first floor, and a traditional six-panel front door framed by a simple classical-style pediment.

Inside, you’re welcomed by a small porch that opens into a beautifully proportioned sitting room, complete with high ceilings, a striking inglenook fireplace with wood burner, and the original bay window flooding the room with natural light. Exposed studwork subtly separates a useful study or storage area, which was once a corridor leading from the main entrance.

The inner hallway is particularly attractive, featuring a wide, sweeping staircase that rises gracefully to a galleried landing.

To the rear, the spacious kitchen/dining room offers an excellent range of cupboards and work surfaces, with a door leading to a ground floor bathroom.

Upstairs, all three bedrooms are generously sized. The principal bedroom benefits from its own en-suite shower room.

Outside, there’s a private rear courtyard garden. Please note that neighbouring properties retain a right of access across this space.

Resident parking is available via a permit scheme at a nearby public car park, administered by Braintree District Council.

This is a charming and substantial home, steeped in heritage and architectural detail, right in the heart of this much-loved village.
