Summary - 41 CHURCHFIELDS WEST MERSEA COLCHESTER CO5 8QJ
2 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Character-packed two-bed home minutes from the beach, with workshop and parking potential.
Long enclosed garden with large pergola and outdoor WC
This two-bedroom semi on West Mersea combines genuine period character with practical modern touches. Exposed brickwork, sash windows and beams give the house a distinct Georgian cottage feel, while the shaker kitchen, bespoke bathroom and workshop add usable, contemporary elements. The layout is compact across two storeys and feels cosy rather than expansive.
Outside, the long enclosed garden is a major asset, arranged in three sections with a striking pergola at its centre, an outdoor WC and a substantial 3.5m x 7.6m workshop — ideal for hobbies, storage or conversion. There is also potential to create off-street parking from the rear yard, subject to permissions.
The property is well placed for island life: around a five-minute walk to the beach and close to the village centre with shops, cafés and local amenities. Good primary schools are nearby and Colchester is reachable for wider services and transport links.
Important practical points: rooms are generally small with some low ceilings, and the property has older double glazing and cavity walls assumed without insulation. EPC rating E indicates the home will benefit from energy-efficiency upgrades. The home is freehold with a cheap council tax band, but buyers should budget for possible refurbishment to improve thermal performance and modern comforts.
