Dating back to the early Victorian era, Bramley Cottage has been thoughtfully extended over the years to create a well-proportioned family home, set within grounds of around one-third of an acre. While the property would now benefit from sympathetic modernisation, it retains great character and offers an excellent opportunity for buyers to shape it to their own taste.


Bramley Cottage is tucked away in the semi-rural hamlet of Broad Green, on the outskirts of the sought-after village of Coggeshall.

Dating back to the Victorian era, the property retains much of the character and charm you would expect from a home of this period. Standing on a generous plot of around one-third of an acre, it enjoys far-reaching countryside views to both the front and rear.

The sitting room is light and welcoming, featuring a half-bay window to the front and French doors opening to the rear garden. The kitchen/breakfast room also enjoys a bright outlook to the front and includes a rear door, with a separate dining room leading directly off it, making for a flexible eating or additional reception space.

Adjoining the kitchen is a useful wet room and a utility area.

Upstairs, the first floor provides four generous bedrooms along with a spacious family bathroom, all benefitting from pleasant views over the gardens or the open countryside beyond.
