An extraordinary restoration opportunity in the heart of one of Essex’s most historic villages.
Brook House is a substantial and characterful family home located on the south side of East Street in the delightful village of Coggeshall. Coming to the market for the first time since 1978, it represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity for a buyer with foresight and an appreciation for historic buildings.
Extending to over 4,500 sq. ft, the property boasts an abundance of period features and flexible accommodation arranged over three floors – including a cellar, four reception rooms, and a vast coach house/barn offering tremendous potential.
Ground Floor Highlights:
The oak-panelled dining room is an amazing space, featuring a Nostril fireplace, serving hatch to the kitchen and even a hidden priest hole in the floor of the built-in cupboard – illustrating the home’s rich history.
The sitting room is equally impressive, complete with stunning Georgian corner cupboards and a handsome open fire, perfect for cosy evenings.
A welcoming reception hallway includes an inglenook fireplace and leads to the main staircase.
Ceilings in the front part of the house are notably higher, indicative of its earlier Georgian design, while the rear and side extensions offer a slightly later architectural style.
To the rear, a side lobby with original servants’ bells, cloakroom, and side entrance provides practical everyday access.
The kitchen and breakfast room overlook a private courtyard. There is a rear lobby which provides access into the courtyard and the study which in turn accesses the separate scullery.
The Coach House/Barn:
A later addition to the house, this large two-storey space offers excellent scope for conversion (subject to planning). The first floor is open to the rafters and has its own internal connection via the dressing room, making it ideal for annex accommodation, creative studio space, or further bedrooms. On the ground floor there are three areas divided into two storage rooms and a garage.
First Floor Accommodation:
The main house offers five generously proportioned bedrooms, including a rear bedroom suite complete with dressing room and en-suite.
This bedroom also connects to the first floor of the barn, enhancing the conversion potential.
Bedroom Two has French doors opening onto a roof terrace, providing peaceful, uninterrupted views across the courtyard and gardens.
Bedroom three has amazing high ceilings as well as an ornate fireplace and softwood panelling.
Outside Space:
From the rear of the house, step into a charming walled courtyard that leads into the mature, partly wooded garden, once revived it will be something truly special.
The garden stretches all the way to Robinsbrook, with lovely open views across the meadows.
Hidden within the grounds is a separately listed Georgian garden pavilion, a classic enclosed seating area with a south-facing aspect, ideal for enjoying the more relaxed part of the garden.
And one more thing...
Yes – there’s also a wine cellar tucked beneath the house, waiting to be stocked and celebrated.
Agents Note:
Brook House is a home of incredible heritage, charm and scale – but it is in need of a significant renovation project. This is a rare chance to restore a historic Coggeshall landmark to its former glory – and create a legacy home for future generations.
