Location

The historic market town of Coggeshall is well known for its plethora of listed properties many of which were constructed in the 15th and 16th Centuries when Coggeshall was well known for its Cloth and Wool Trade. One of these properties is the stunning Tudor merchants house “Paycockes House” which is located some 20m from the property. Now in the care of the National Trust. Although many of the properties from those times still exist there are some which dates even earlier with the village having been mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086 although the more modern history of Coggeshall began around 1140 when King Stephen and Queen Matilda founded Coggeshall Abbey. In the modern day the town benefits from a Co-Op supermarket along with a wealth of other independent shops, restaurant and pubs serving the community with the majority of their daily needs.

The village also benefits from a community bus service, which runs from the village to Kelvedon train station, where you can gain access to London Liverpool Street in around 50mins.
