Wefan House is a stunning family home with character, set in a prime position in the heart of the thriving village of Coggeshall.
Just a few doors along from the National Trust’s Grade I listed Paycocke’s House, the property occupies a commanding spot and enjoys a mature, well-kept southerly facing rear garden.
Dating back over 400 years, the house has evolved through the centuries, including the addition of a rear extension, yet it still retains much of its original charm and architectural detail.
Stepping through the centrally positioned front door, you are welcomed into two elegant reception rooms, each with an open fireplace. The dining room is particularly impressive, featuring a large exposed inglenook with an ornate wood burner.
From here, an inner hallway provides access to the side courtyard. To the rear lies a study with French windows to the patio and views across the side garden. The kitchen/breakfast room is spacious, offering generous storage, a gas-fired AGA, room for a large table, and a door that opens directly onto the garden.
The first-floor landing is full of interest, showcasing the exposed red brick chimney and a beautifully preserved beam. A door also leads to the attic, accessed via ladder, adding to the sense of character and provides a good amount of storage.
There are three double bedrooms and an ample single, including a magnificent principal suite spanning the full width of the front of the house. This room boasts a vaulted ceiling, exposed chimney, dressing room, and en-suite shower room. The remaining bedrooms are set to the rear, two of which enjoy views over the garden, and are served by a spacious family bathroom with both bath and separate shower.
The gardens are a delight, partly walled, private, and laid out with brick pathways leading to different areas. A drive-through garage provides access to a rear parking area, while a collection of outbuildings includes a summerhouse, shed, a greenhouse and a studio with a picture window. This will make an ideal home office.
The grounds are arranged with charm and practicality in mind, featuring a two-tiered lawn, established planting, and a hidden kitchen garden screened by a fine yew hedge with its own greenhouse and vegetable beds. Among the highlights are a mature silver birch, magnolia stellata, pieris salicifolia and catalpa bignonoides, while at the far end of the garden an arbour provides a tranquil seating spot. To the south, expansive views over mature trees in a neighbouring garden enhance the sense of peace and seclusion.
To summarise, Wefan House is a beautiful 17th-century family home in the heart of an extremely desirable English village with good external space and much in the way of character.
