Summary - Dawes Lane, Mersea CO5 8HL
3 bed 1 bath Detached Bungalow
Rare one-acre coastal plot with renovation potential and privacy on West Mersea.
Chain-free detached bungalow on circa one-acre plot
Set on approximately one acre in a highly sought Dawes Lane location on West Mersea, this detached three-bedroom bungalow offers rare private grounds and clear scope to improve or extend (subject to planning). The single-storey layout provides straightforward living: reception space, kitchen, bathroom and three bedrooms arranged for easy adaptation by a buyer seeking a single-level home or a renovation project.
The plot is the primary asset — mature trees, overgrown beds and room for landscaping, outbuildings or an expanded footprint create significant potential for a garden-focused family, downsizer or purchaser wanting to develop (STPP). The site sits well back from the lane, giving good privacy and a semi-rural feel with coastal village amenities and outdoor pursuits nearby.
The property is sold freehold and chain-free, but it requires renovation throughout. The bungalow is currently unmaintained, with overgrown grounds and dated services including an oil-fired boiler and external oil tank. There is only one bathroom and internal space is average-sized, so buyers should allow for refurbishment costs and possible planning timeframes if extending or redeveloping.
For those seeking a rare island plot with redevelopment potential in an affluent, low-crime location, this offers long-term upside. For buyers looking for a move-in ready home, the current condition and renovation needs make it unsuitable without investment.
