2 bed semi-detached house for sale

Tilkey Road, Coggeshall, Colchester, Essex CO6

No onward chain A unique and well laid out Two bedroom Victorian semi-detached cottage located near to open countryside and within 0.6 miles of the centre of the village.

This charming two-bedroom Victorian cottage offers spacious accommodation across three floors and enjoys an elevated position with delightful westerly countryside views.

The layout is somewhat unconventional for this type of property, as it is centered around the middle of the house rather than accessed directly from the front. Instead, you enter from the side into a welcoming reception hall, where a central staircase leads to the upper floors, and doors open to both the kitchen and sitting room.

The sitting room features a front-facing window, an inviting open fireplace, and exposed wooden flooring, adding warmth and character. The cottage-style kitchen has been thoughtfully designed to maximize space, with a wood-burning stove set into the fireplace as a charming focal point. There is ample workspace and room for a breakfast table.

From the kitchen, you step into a conservatory, which extends the ground floor living space and provides a bright and versatile area.

Ascending to the first floor, you are greeted by an attractive landing with a side window that allows natural light to flow through. Historically, this floor would have housed two double bedrooms, but the second bedroom has been cleverly reconfigured to create a spacious bathroom and a walk-in wardrobe/study area. The primary bedroom benefits from a westerly aspect, featuring a fireplace with an elegant surround.

The second bedroom is located on the top floor and is generously proportioned, offering stunning westerly views over the rooftops and open fields beyond—perfect for enjoying breathtaking sunsets throughout the year.

To the front, the property benefits from two off-road parking spaces. A mature cherry blossom tree and block-paved driveway add to the home’s curb appeal.

A gated side access leads to the rear garden, which is thoughtfully divided into distinct areas, including a block-paved patio, a lawn enclosed by a white picket fence, and a more secluded section towards the rear.

The property is offered with no onward chain, as the current owner plans to move in with family.
