Quay House is a striking Grade II listed waterfront home dating to the 1520s, fully refurbished in 2020–21 to combine period character with modern living. Vaulted kitchen/breakfast room with mezzanine and removable windows opens to direct marsh and water views, creating an impressive entertaining hub. The property includes a reconfigured, separately rated Boathouse annexe (two beds, two baths) ideal for guests or ancillary income.
Set in about 0.75 acres, the plot features a walled garden, historic mulberry and yew trees, a Mediterranean-feel courtyard and an ancillary field formerly used for a tennis court. Off-street parking and an electric vehicle charging point add practical convenience, while footpaths lead directly onto salt marsh walks and nearby nature reserves.
Important practical points: the house’s listed status will restrict alterations and can complicate maintenance; the location carries a medium flood risk and council tax is very high. Broadband is slow and some original solid-brick walls likely lack modern cavity insulation despite the recent refurbishment. Overall, the property suits buyers seeking a large, characterful coastal home with strong period appeal and room for flexible use rather than those wanting an easy, low-maintenance turnkey modern dwelling.
