This substantial three-bedroom Victorian property sits just minutes from Brightlingsea town centre, beach and marina, offering a rare combination of period charm and practical outbuildings. The main house features high ceilings, a living room with an open fireplace, a generous dining room and a fitted kitchen leading to a sunny rear garden with patio and pergola — ideal for family life and entertaining.
A major asset is the collection of outbuildings: a self-contained garden studio/annexe with en-suite, a large home office with planning consent recorded by the planning officer, and a double garage with adjoining workshop and shed. The balcony from the first-floor bedroom enjoys views over the garden and Brightlingsea Creek, adding lifestyle appeal and potential holiday-let interest.
Buyers should note a few practical considerations. The property has secondary glazing, and the solid brick walls are assumed to be without modern insulation, so upgrading thermal performance may be needed. Broadband speeds are slow despite excellent mobile signal. There is one family bathroom and an external access arrangement to the double garage via a shared rear access; a small area to the front of the garage has been used historically but is not shown on the Title Deed.
This freehold, circa-1900 home of about 976 sq ft on a large plot represents good potential for families wanting space and flexibility — immediate comfortable accommodation coupled with sensible investment in energy efficiency, connectivity and minor legal clarification over garage access.
