5 bed detached house for sale

Coggeshall Road, Kelvedon, Colchester, Essex CO5

Offering far-reaching farmland views and located just an 8 minute walk from Kelvedon mainline station, Moorings enjoys a peaceful rural setting with the convenience of being close to the heart of a thriving village—ideal for commuters seeking the best of both worlds.

This beautiful Grade II listed home dates back to the 1700s and has been sympathetically extended by the current owners to create a perfect blend of old and new. The striking black weatherboarding of the two-storey extension complements the traditional painted render of the original building, offering real kerb appeal.

Inside, this period family home is full of character. To either side of the front door are two well-proportioned reception rooms, both featuring open fireplaces. A third reception room to the rear provides a quiet space ideal for use as a study or snug.

The kitchen/dining room is the heart of the home. Forming part of the newer extension, this light-filled space features double doors leading out to a raised decking area that enjoys an Easterly aspect—perfect for morning coffee or alfresco brunches. The kitchen also connects to a practical boot room, utility area and cloakroom, with additional access to the side of the property.

Upstairs, there are four bedrooms—two doubles and two singles—and a stunning bathroom with vaulted ceilings. The principal bedroom has the added luxury of an en-suite bathroom, a large and indulgent space with vaulted ceiling, a double-ended bath and views over open countryside via a Juliet balcony.

Two further rooms occupy the top floor, accessed via their own private staircase. These make excellent hobby rooms, additional bedrooms, or even a home office suite.

Set within a mature plot of approximately half an acre, the property is surrounded by fields on three sides, giving a wonderful sense of seclusion and space.

Outside, there is a handsome triple bay oak-framed cartlodge with a generous loft area above, accessed via an external staircase—offering great potential for a studio or home office.

To complete the picture, a newly constructed summerhouse with power and lighting provides the ultimate garden retreat. Currently set up as a cinema room, it features a surround sound speaker system, pull-down screen, and projector. The adjoining decking area overlooks an ornamental pond and takes in far-reaching countryside views.
