Coggeshall · Practical visit guide
Paycocke's House and Garden
Tudor merchant's house, woodcarving and a restored cottage garden.
Seasonal opening; house, garden and tea-room shown closed on the checked date
A free garden visit and a paid house visit are different plans. Both depend on seasonal opening.
Admission and costs
House admission charged; operator lists adult £12 without Gift Aid on the checked page. Garden, tea-room and bookshop entry are free when open. Not classed as an entirely free attraction.
Parking
The National Trust lists Stoneham Street village car park as free for two hours, plus limited accessible on-street parking and drop-off. Check current signs and charges; we have not independently verified council tariffs.
Terrain and mobility
The operator describes a raised threshold with a ramp, ground-floor and garden access, and an accessible toilet. Upstairs is steps-only; this is not a whole-house step-free assurance.
Toilets and facilities
Accessible toilet with baby changing near the garden entrance; another toilet upstairs. Indoor tea-room reported.
Transport evidence
Operator lists X20/320 to the Paycockes House stop on West Street. Check current services.
Before travelling
Check the date calendar: house, garden and tea-room were shown closed on 12 November 2026. The published schedule describes guided tours until 2pm and self-guided visits from 2–4pm; confirm the arrangements for your date.
