A Grade II listed cottage in the centre of one of Essex’s most sought-after villages has had £225,000 knocked off its original asking price.
The four-bedroom country home in Princel Lane, Dedham, was first placed on the market in September 2025 with a guide price of £1.375 million.
It was reduced by £125,000 the following month to £1.25 million before a further £100,000 price cut in May 2026.
It is now being marketed for £1.15 million, meaning the asking price has fallen by around 16 per cent since it was first listed.
The property, which is being sold through Kingsleigh Residential, combines an 18th-century Grade II listed cottage with a contemporary extension.
It extends to approximately 2,773 sq ft and sits on a plot of around a quarter of an acre.
