Summary - 76, CHURCH ROAD, COLCHESTER, BRIGHTLINGSEA CO7 0JF
4 bed 1 bath Detached
Chain-free four-bed fixer with large garden and extension potential.
Detached Victorian house on large plot (approx. 170ft garden)
Set on a substantial plot in Brightlingsea, this Victorian detached house offers clear scope for value-add. The property sits on an approx. 170ft rear garden, with off-street parking and room to extend (subject to planning), making it appealing to buyers who want to create a larger family home or a high-yield investment.
Internally the layout is traditional: three reception rooms, a kitchen, four bedrooms, a ground-floor bathroom and a first-floor WC. The house totals around 1,299 sq ft and feels generous in room count, but most spaces show wear and will need a full refurbishment to reach modern standards.
This is a chain-free sale on freehold tenure, which simplifies purchase logistics. The location is convenient for Brightlingsea town centre, the waterfront and local amenities, and schools rated Good are nearby. There is potential to reconfigure or extend (STP) to increase living space and long-term value.
Important drawbacks: the property requires full renovation throughout, so buyers should budget for comprehensive works (cosmetic and likely mechanical/electrical updates). There is only a single bathroom plus a first-floor WC as currently arranged. The next owner should expect refurbishment costs and time to realise the site’s potential.
