Summary - 16 ST GEORGES AVENUE HARWICH CO12 3RR
4 bed 1 bath Detached
Spacious four-bedroom period house near Blue Flag beach with cellar potential.
Stunning sea views from L-shaped reception and raised decking
This mock-Tudor, four-bedroom detached house sits on a large plot within a few minutes’ walk of Dovercourt’s Blue Flag beach, with impressive sea views from the L-shaped reception room and raised decking. The property retains strong 1930s character: bay windows, leaded/stained glass and a brick fireplace provide period charm while the double glazing and mains gas central heating offer everyday comfort.
Internally the house is spacious (approx. 1,938 sq ft) with an L-shaped reception, separate lounge, kitchen, cloakroom and a substantial cellar with four to five rooms that could be converted to add accommodation or storage subject to planning. Practical benefits include a garage, off-street parking and fast broadband with excellent mobile signal—useful for remote working or family connectivity.
Buyers should note this is a solid-brick house built c.1900–1929 with no known wall insulation (assumed) and a single family bathroom, so energy-efficiency improvements and an additional bathroom may be needed. The area is classified as ageing urban communities with signs of local deprivation; nonetheless schools nearby are rated Good and the town offers a wide range of amenities and healthcare services.
This home suits a family wanting coastal living with period character and renovation potential, or an investor seeking a project with scope to increase value by converting the cellar and improving insulation and bathrooms. Flood risk is low and tenure is freehold, simplifying ownership for buyers ready to undertake updating works.
