Steeped in over six centuries of history, Swan House offers a rare opportunity to own a remarkable piece of Coggeshall’s rich architectural heritage.
This beautiful Grade II listed timber-framed property, recognised by Historic England for its special architectural and historic interest, dates from the late 14th century, with sympathetic alterations in the 17th, 19th and 20th centuries reflecting its long and evolving story.
Formerly part of the historic Swan Inn, the building once stood at the heart of village life. Inns such as the Swan were central to England’s medieval and early modern communities — welcoming travellers, merchants and locals alike. Parish records reference a “tenement called the Swan” in East Street as early as the 16th century, suggesting that this property has been a recognised landmark for generations.
Its past as an inn lends the house a unique provenance and an atmosphere that cannot be replicated. This is more than a home — it is a living piece of English history, offering character, authenticity and a connection to centuries past, all within a highly desirable village setting.
The ground floor offers two inviting reception rooms to the front of the property, with the main sitting room being centralised around an impressive, exposed brick chimney breast ideal for cosy evenings. The recently renovated kitchen breakfast room overlooks the garden and offers a wonderful blend of modern convenience and character charm, featuring high-quality in-frame cabinetry and integrated appliances. A family bathroom completes the ground floor layout ideal for muddy children or dogs.
Upstairs, the property continues to impress with three generous double bedrooms, offering flexibility for growing families, visiting guests, or those looking to downsize without compromising on space. A newly-fitted well-appointed shower room with WC serves the first floor.
Outside, the private walled garden provides a peaceful retreat — with a patio set immediately to the rear of the house, accessed from the kitchen door perfect for entertaining. The added benefit of garage parking is a rare and valuable feature in such a central village location.
Situated just a short stroll from Coggeshall’s charming shops, cafés, and local amenities, this home is ideally suited to those looking to downsize into the village community or families seeking a characterful property with everyday convenience.
