Description

This beautifully presented three/four bedroom semi-detached house is located in the sought-after village of Kelvedon, conveniently positioned between Colchester and Chelmsford. 


It benefits from the tranquillity and rural setting of being on the edge of the village, but is within walking distance of all the amenities. With period charm, spacious rooms throughout and grounds in excess of an acre, it provides well-balanced accommodation for families seeking space both inside and out.

The charming property dates back to 1914 and was built as a smallholding. A bespoke handmade solid-wood front door leads into a tiled entrance hall featuring a Velux window and a stylish tongue-and-groove wall with rows of handmade wooden coat hooks. 

Leading off the hall is a light-filled office which benefits from being separate from the rest of the ground floor accommodation. Another door opens onto a further hallway from which is the spacious sitting room with a window to the front aspect, a built-in cupboard and bookshelf unit, and a Jøtul woodburning stove; in all, a cosy considered space. 

Opposite is a wonderfully versatile room, which serves as a fourth or guest bedroom or additional reception room (it is currently a playroom), and features a fireplace with Charnwood woodburning stove, a painted wooden floor, built-in shelves and French doors opening onto a separate area of the garden. 

At the end of the hallway is a pantry with shelves and solid-wood handmade cupboards offering generous storage. Next to this is the open-plan kitchen/diner – the heart of the home. This stylish rustic room features a range-style Falcon cooker above which are handmade tiles, a generous amount of storage in the form of bespoke handmade solid-wood Shaker-style wall and base units, solid-wood worksurfaces, quarry tiled flooring, a Clearview woodburning stove and plenty of natural light from dual-aspect windows (with views of farmland from the front) and rooflights. 

From here, out of the solid-wood stable door, is access to the terrace for outdoor eating. There is ample dining space, making it well-suited to everyday family use and entertaining. Adjoining the kitchen is a large utility room with storage including base and wall units as well as a sink, providing a practical space for laundry and household tasks, plus there is a separate sink and WC. A solid-wood stable door leads out to a large tiled porch with further utility space and a Velux window.

Upstairs is a generous landing space with loft access, and a handmade built-in unit featuring cupboards and bookshelves. It leads to three double bedrooms and a bathroom, with characterful architectural details, traditional cast-iron column radiators and solid-wood doors including Suffolk latches. 

The main bedroom is a dual-aspect double featuring a further handmade unit comprising bookshelves and storage cupboards, and a vaulted ceiling with solid-wood beams, which adds to the sense of light-filled space. 
The second generous double bedroom is full of character with a large Shaker-style airing cupboard, fireplace and pure-wool carpet. The third is also a spacious double with pure-wool carpet and a front aspect window benefitting from views of farmland. Opposite is a lobby area with an original fireplace and light tube.

The luxuriously large bathroom has a separate walk-in Makita shower, a bespoke vanity unit with twin sinks, and a WC, plus a freestanding bath with handmade shelf unit beside a tall ladder-style towel rail. The period fireplace adds character to the appeal of this bathroom, which is a practical space for families.

The property sits within grounds in excess of an acre, which are thoughtfully arranged with different purposes in mind: play, relaxation, gardening and wildlife. A large gravel driveway provides parking for multiple vehicles. Beside this is a long bespoke handwoven willow fence, which forms the left-hand boundary. A separate grassed area leads to the terrace and through the five-bar gates is the large garden in which there is a substantial brick-built barn with loft and, on the side, a separate workshop in the former piggery, with hardstanding outside (both these have scope for conversion, subject to any necessary consents). In front of the barn is a fenced-off area, which includes a children’s playhouse and raised bed for growing vegetables. 

Behind the barn is a lean-to area, which serves as a further alfresco entertaining space and logstore. For those wanting a taste of the good life is a large potting shed with power and shelving – a haven for the greenfingered – and a chicken run with a bespoke generous-sized shed (plus there is scope to keep other livestock). A large lawned area offers masses of space for play and entertaining, and extends down to a wildlife area and path to the lane. Beyond this is acres of beautiful willow land and the River Blackwater.

The property is tucked away on the outskirts of the village yet within walking distance of all amenities. It is also outside the ‘Village Envelope’, which means it is protected by restricted development. Kelvedon itself offers a range of local amenities including shops, pubs and restaurants catering for day-to-day needs. The village is known for its access to green spaces, walking and cycling routes, making it attractive for those who enjoy spending time outdoors.

For families, educational provision is a particular strength of the area. Kelvedon St Mary's Primary Academy is rated Good, and Kelvedon St Mary's Academy Nursery is rated Outstanding. The property is also well-placed for Honywood and Thurstable secondary schools, as well as selective schools including King Edward VI Grammar School, Chelmsford County High School for Girls and Colchester Royal Grammar School.

Transport links are a key advantage. Kelvedon’s mainline railway station is within walking distance, offering services to London Liverpool Street in approximately 50 minutes, making the location suitable for commuters. By road, the village is bypassed by the A12, providing routes to Colchester and Chelmsford and linking on to the M25 and London, as well as wider connections across the region.

With its three/four double bedrooms, period charm, generously sized rooms, family-focused layout and extensive grounds, this semi-detached house for sale in Kelvedon will appeal to those looking for space, access to good schools and convenient transport links. 

The property holds an EPC rating of D and falls within Council Tax band C.
