Chocolate box cottage located in the heart of the old village of Elmstead overlooking the village green, on the outskirts of Colchester.
Spring Cottage is a quintessential English thatched cottage nestled in the heart of Elmstead Market, a charming village on the outskirts of Colchester. This Grade II listed gem boasts a wealth of period features throughout its flexible living accommodation.
Upon entering through the porch, you are welcomed into a warm and inviting entrance hall. The spacious living room features a large inglenook fireplace, serving as a striking focal point. Opposite the living room is a delightful dining room, perfect for entertaining, which also includes a fireplace and stairs leading to the first floor. Adjacent to the dining room is a versatile third reception room that can be used as an additional bedroom if needed.
The kitchen, located at the rear of the ground floor, features tall ceilings and high-quality cabinetry with granite work surfaces and sills, along with a practical breakfast bar. Beyond the kitchen, there is a convenient office and a conservatory that opens onto a rear patio. The ground floor also includes a shower room with a large vanity unit with granite work surface and sills and ample storage.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom is a spacious retreat with an exposed chimney and built-in wardrobes. The second bedroom, located opposite the principal bedroom, is a comfortable double room.
The gardens at Spring Cottage are a horticultural delight, reflecting years of dedicated care and investment. A path winds from the driveway through the front garden, past vibrant flower beds bursting with color. The front boundary is lined with a large hedge for privacy, and a lawn leads to a picturesque rockery. Additional flower beds extend to the side and rear of the house, culminating in a serene seating area and a high-quality potting greenhouse. The garden extends along the rear of neighboring properties which has been designed as a woodland area. There is also a detached garage and a covered bin store.
