Summary - FAIRHAVEN COURT 11 VICTORIA ESPLANADE WEST MERSEA COLCHESTER CO5 8DE
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Two double bedrooms, garage and sea views — ideal downsizer or coastal retreat.
First-floor flat with panoramic sea views from lounge and main bedroom
A bright first-floor apartment with panoramic sea views from the living room and main bedroom, ideal for downsizers or a seaside retreat. The well-proportioned lounge with a square box bay window captures morning sun and views across Victoria Esplanade, while a private balcony and communal roof terrace extend the living space outdoors.
Practical benefits include a garage en-bloc, a dedicated parking space, and share of freehold with an in-house residents' management company. Service charges are £1,400 per year and the property has an EPC rating of C and Council Tax band B.
The flat is traditionally laid out with two double bedrooms and one bathroom; the kitchen is functional with space for essential appliances. Heating is by electric storage heaters — efficient upgrades may be desirable for year-round comfort. The building dates from the late 1960s/1970s and, while communal areas are maintained, the apartment would benefit from cosmetic updating to suit contemporary tastes.
Note practicalities before viewing: Mersea Island can occasionally be cut off at very high tides, and short-term holiday letting is restricted (AST lets permitted for six months plus). Overall this is a straightforward seaside home offering strong lifestyle appeal and clear potential for modest improvement.
