Summary - 25 CLIFF ROAD DOVERCOURT HARWICH CO12 3PP
3 bed 1 bath Penthouse
Sea and town living moments from the station and beach.
Three bedrooms with open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner and river views
This third-floor penthouse offers newly refurbished accommodation with far-reaching views over the River Stour and Dovercourt’s blue-flag beach just minutes away. The open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner creates a bright social hub, while three bedrooms provide flexibility for family living or rental use. The flat is offered with no onward chain and a share of the freehold, simplifying purchase.
Practical benefits include communal off-street parking, mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, double glazing fitted post-2002, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. The property’s modest footprint (approximately 749 sq ft) keeps running costs low — council tax is very cheap — and the Victorian building retains high ceilings and large rooms that enhance the sense of space.
Buyers should note important drawbacks: the surrounding area is classified as very deprived with a high local crime rate, which will affect desirability for some purchasers. The building’s cavity walls are assumed uninsulated and may require adding insulation for long-term efficiency. The communal garden and exterior show signs of maintenance need and could require investment.
This penthouse suits a first-time buyer seeking seaside living within a budget, or an investor targeting holiday lets or long-term rental given the location close to transport and beach amenities. The combination of recent internal refurbishment, river views and immediate proximity to shops and the station gives clear short-term appeal, while some exterior and energy-efficiency work would add value over time.
