Property Description
Believed to date back to around 1721, Elizabeth House has a history that is rich within the commuting village of Kelvedon that comes about from its historic use as a coaching inn. With period features having been embraced into the design of this exceptional family residence, Elizabeth House retains all of the charm that led to it being the hub of the village throughout the centuries.
The home
Once you cross the threshold, the elegance of early Georgian architecture is immediately apparent from the height of the formal reception room to the intricate carvings around the windows and heavy rustic beams. With a tortuously carved wooden mantle that is said to have come from an Elizabethan ship proudly resting above a stunning oversized open fireplace, the charm and grandeur of this family home is experienced instantly.
Over recent years the interior of Elizabeth House has been sensitively renovated, reconfigured and refurbished within keeping of the tradition of the original house. The striking country style kitchen/breakfast room that has a built in eating nook as well as a stunning vaulted ceiling is the heart of the household. Characterful flooring flows throughout the rear of the home that was originally a stable block, which also houses a dining room and study, with each room having views over the meticulously landscaped garden; the home is perfect for outside entertaining throughout the summer months.
Sprinkled throughout Elizabeth House, there are inklings to its rich past from the joinery of the stairs to the brick carvings from those that used to frequent the property. The sculpted bedroom walls, the exposed brick entranceway into the cellar and the medieval style door that follows into the wine room all help create the sensation of walking through history as you navigate the home.
Upon arrival, you are greeted by electric gates that slowly reveal grounds which stretch to a third of an acre (stls) that are completely encumbered by mature trees that offer a private retreat from the hustle and bustle of Kelvedon High Street. Having been professionally landscaped as well as a generous private driveway with modern double cart lodge, the grounds of Elizabeth House are perfect for formal entertaining. Yet with a large lawned area that the current owners' children use to play cricket, football and basketball as well as the inclusion of a pond full of goldfish, the property is just as inclined to act as a fun family garden.
The location
Elizabeth House is located on the High street of the commuting village of Kelvedon. With trains to London Liverpool Street taking around just 50 minutes and the village itself having all the amenities that are needed in the form of independent shops, pubs and restaurants as well as the larger shops such as the co-op, the current owners enjoy a wide range of conveniences all on their doorstep. Kelvedon is also home to an 'outstanding' primary school and is within the catchment area for the highly acclaimed Holmwood House, Colchester Royal Grammar School and the Colchester County High School for Girls.
