This Grade II listed Victorian property on Rowhedge High Street combines three-bedroom living with substantial lower and upper workshop space — an unusual mix for creators, small business owners or buy-to-let investors. Set over multiple storeys, the house retains period character including bay windows and high ceilings, but will require sympathetic renovation and listed-consent for alterations.
The workshops and flexible reception rooms give clear potential for workspace, storage or rental income; private off-street parking and a secluded courtyard garden add practical appeal in a compact plot. Broadband is fast and flood risk is very low, supporting home-working or light trades that value connectivity and security.
This sale uses the Modern Method of Auction: an undisclosed reserve price applies and buyers must pay a non-refundable reservation fee (4.5% of purchase price, minimum £6,600 plus VAT) and complete within 56 days. The property is offered freehold but the listed status will complicate alterations and may limit scope for major structural change.
Overall this is an excellent project for someone prepared to manage restoration and listed‑building requirements. The workshops and waterside village location create distinctive opportunities, but bidders must allow for renovation costs, listed‑building consent and the additional auction fees when assessing value.
