Summary - John Street CO7 0NA
2 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Characterful, centrally located home ideal for first-time buyers or couples.
Two double bedrooms in a compact 599 sq ft layout
A neatly presented two-bedroom Victorian cottage offering compact, comfortable living in Brightlingsea. The ground floor has a light lounge/diner and a practical kitchen, while two double bedrooms sit on the first floor. A low-maintenance courtyard garden and a rare private shingle drive provide useful outdoor space and off-street parking.
Practical features include gas central heating, double glazing (fitted c.2002 or later) and freehold tenure. The property is walkable to the town centre and marina, making it well placed for local shops, eateries and riverside amenities — a strong convenience factor for first-time buyers or couples.
Important considerations: the house is small at about 599 sq ft and built with solid brick walls likely without cavity insulation, so heating costs and thermal performance may be higher than newer homes. Broadband speeds are very slow in the area. The property is sold with a possessory title, which can affect mortgage options and requires lender checks before purchase.
Overall this cottage suits a buyer seeking a centrally located, characterful home with minimal outdoor upkeep and immediate move-in condition, who is comfortable managing the limitations around size, insulation and title status.
