Few homes convey their history quite as convincingly as The Old Brewhouse. Forming part of Coggeshall's former brewery, this remarkable Grade II Listed home has been imaginatively converted whilst retaining an extraordinary collection of architectural features from its industrial past.
Tucked discreetly away from Bridge Street within the historic former brewery complex, the house extends to approximately 2,232 sq ft and offers accommodation quite unlike that found in a conventional period home. Exposed red brick walls, substantial oak and timber beams, original structural columns, wide boarded floors and a dramatic galleried interior combine to create a building of considerable character.
The heart of the house is the impressive dining hall, where the scale and heritage of the former brewery are immediately apparent. Heavy timber supports rise through the room beneath exposed beams, whilst brick walls and traditional flooring reinforce the building's origins. Above, the first-floor gallery looks down into the space, creating a wonderful sense of height and volume.
Opening from the dining area is a traditionally styled kitchen fitted with extensive timber cabinetry, granite work surfaces, a Belfast-style sink and double substantial range cooker.
Beyond is an exceptional sitting room measuring approximately 30'9" x 15'8". The room has exposed ceiling timbers and an extensive bank of windows overlooking the garden.
A staircase rises through the original structure to an impressive first-floor gallery, where exposed brickwork, substantial structural timbers, iron balustrading and timber floors.
There are three bedrooms on this level, including the principal bedroom with an en-suite shower room, together with the family bathroom. A further staircase rises to the second floor, where there is an additional bedroom and a substantial attic space measuring approximately 16'9" x 25'5".
Outside, The Old Brewhouse enjoys a wonderfully private setting that belies its central village location. A secluded walled garden and courtyard are surrounded by mature shrubs, trees and established planting, providing several areas in which to sit and entertain. There is also off-road parking together with a separate carport.
The exterior is every bit as distinctive as the interior. Traditional red brickwork, weatherboarded elevations and clay tiled roofs sit beneath the towering former brewery chimney, creating one of Coggeshall's more recognisable historic buildings.
For purchasers looking for a conventional period house, there are many alternatives. For those wanting somewhere genuinely individual, with scale, provenance and architectural character that simply cannot be recreated, The Old Brewhouse is altogether more unusual.
Historical Note: After brewing ceased in 1940, the former Little Coggeshall Brewery was kept in working order during the Second World War as a “shadow brewery”. The idea was that, if Greene King’s main brewery was damaged by enemy bombing, production could be transferred to Coggeshall, making the site an important reserve facility during the war.
