A former coach house with a wealth of historic features near Braintree is looking for new owners. 

This remarkable family home in Brook Street, Great Bardfield, dates back to the 18th century and was extended both in the 19th and 20th centuries. 

Brook House formerly served as a doctor’s house and comes with a rich history as a grade II-listed building. 

With its timber frames and plaster, an attractive brick façade, stuck pointing and gauged brick arches, the property has preserved key elements that add to the character and charm of the home.

The property has been extensively redeveloped whilst retaining its original architectural charm, but adhering to modern standards. 

Entering the home, an ‘L’ shaped reception hall with a turning staircase greets both residents and visitors. 

On the ground floor, there are three reception rooms, a south-facing sun room, as well as a private study, offering ample space for a family and guests.

The large family bathroom is located to the south east and features a free-standing bathtub and shower.
