Ardleigh Road, Dedham, Colchester, CO7

THE PROPERTY
Clemwood Cottage is a charming red-brick detached cottage which was built around 1800 and which was significantly improved since with a number of rear extensions.

The property, which is not listed and has been well looked after, is a good size with 1843 square feet of accommodation arranged over two floors (reached via two staircases). Its layout means it is best suited to families who have need of an annex, however we understand a connection can be knocked through between the kitchens to create a more conventional layout.

The original part of the house has several low ceilings which taller buyers ought to be mindful of, however it is also packed with appealing period features such as exposed red-brick walls, a red-brick (open) fire, wood flooring, wooden windows, original doors and bay windows.

As the floorplan shows, the annex is nicely laid out and would be ideal for extended families or for use as an Airbnb where we expect its Constable Country location would make it quite sought after.

GROUNDS AND OUTBUILDINGS
The plot totals 0.25 of an acre and faces southwest for afternoon and evening sunshine. It includes gated parking for several cars (the property has no garage), areas of lawn, well-tended beds, a courtyard accessed from the kitchen, a second patio serving the annex, three sheds, a summer house, various trees and a pond.

LOCATION
The property is located around a mile and a half from the centre of Dedham in north Essex. The village, which is one of the most sought after in the county and is recognised for its associations with the landscape artist John Constable, has services which include several restaurants and pubs, a Co-op supermarket and a primary school.

The property is very well located for access to the City of Colchester (seven miles), Ipswich (14 miles) and Manningtree (four miles) where a mainline station provides a direct service to London Liverpool Street with a journey time of around an hour.
