The Chase, Kelvedon, Colchester, Essex, CO5

A delightful detached period cottage, positioned in a tucked-away setting at the very centre of the village.

Description

Built in the early 1900s and sympathetically extended in the 1970s, this charming period cottage is situated in a discreet setting just off the High Street, and provides three/four bedrooms, an enclosed rear garden and a double garage. Constructed of timber and brick beneath a clay tiled roof, the property offers period accommodation arranged over two floors and is being brought to the market with no onward chain.

The property is entered via an entrance hall, opening to an impressive dining room which has a vaulted ceiling with wood panelling, creating a striking focal point, and includes a staircase rising to the first floor. The sitting room is a generous room and features a west-facing bay window providing a good deal of natural light. The kitchen is fitted with wooden storage units and enjoys views and access over the enclosed rear garden. A further reception room, currently used as a study, offers excellent versatility and could serve as a fourth bedroom if required. A ground floor shower room completes the accommodation on this level.

The galleried landing leads to three bedrooms. The principal bedroom is spacious, while bedrooms 1 and 3 offer comfortable accommodation for family or guests. A family bathroom serves this floor.

Outside

The rear garden extends directly from the back of the house and has been beautifully landscaped. The tiered garden begins with a patio terrace and steps rising to a well kept lawn. A pergola provides an attractive focal point, while a central planted feature with roses and seasonal flowers adds colour and interest throughout the year.
