This detached two-bedroom home in Clacton-on-Sea offers versatile living across approximately 775 sq ft, with scope to convert into three bedrooms for a growing household. The house has been modernised while retaining period character, with a contemporary living room, fitted kitchen, conservatory and a master en-suite. Its private rear garden and off-street parking with a turntable add everyday convenience.
Located close to shops, transport links and several well-rated primary and secondary schools, the property suits first-time buyers seeking a comfortable starter home near the coast. Practical benefits include gas central heating, double glazing and a Council Tax Band C rating – running costs should be affordable.
Buyers must note this lot is sold at auction on 29 October 2025. The sale is unconditional on the fall of the hammer: exchange and a 5% deposit are required, plus a buyer’s premium of 5% + VAT (minimum £5,000 + VAT). Completion is legally required within 28 days and the legal pack and special conditions should be reviewed carefully before bidding.
The plot is small and the wider area is relatively deprived, which may affect long-term resale in some markets. This property will appeal to buyers prepared to move quickly, willing to review the legal pack, and interested in adding value through a modest refurbishment or reconfiguration to create an extra bedroom.
