Summary - 71, High Street, Brightlingsea CO7 0AQ
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Charming period home with garden office near the harbour and local amenities.
Grade II listed with parts dating back to 13th century
A rare, character-filled mid-terrace in the historic Cinque Port town of Brightlingsea, this Grade II listed house blends medieval origins with modern touches. Original timbers, exposed brickwork and sash windows create a striking lounge/diner centred around a redbrick fireplace and log burner, while the bespoke kitchen provides solid-wood worktops, a butler sink and rear access to the garden.
Upstairs offers two sizeable bedrooms and a large walk-in wardrobe that was formerly a third bedroom, giving flexible accommodation for a young family or home-working couple. The contemporary bathroom and strip wood flooring sit comfortably alongside period details, and double glazing was installed post-2002.
Outside, the small but well-arranged rear garden includes a low-maintenance synthetic lawn, mature borders and a powered 14' x 7' log cabin ideal as a home office or studio. The front is block-paved and fully enclosed. Local amenities, good schools and the waterfront are all within easy reach.
Important practical points: the property's Grade II listing will limit alterations and may cause delays or additional costs for permitted works. The building has solid brick walls (likely no cavity insulation) and the exterior shows some roof and façade wear that will need cleaning or maintenance. Tenure is unknown and should be confirmed before progressing.
