Summary - CREEK COTTAGE BILLET LANE LEIGH-ON-SEA SS9 2HR
3 bed 2 bath Detached
Distinctive three-bed period cottage with tiered south garden and sweeping water views.
Panoramic estuary and sea views from principal rooms
CREEK COTTAGE is a rare, character-rich detached home on Billet Lane with panoramic estuary views and an unusually private setting — it even has its own postcode. Built in 1926, the house retains period features such as exposed oak beams, a solid oak staircase and an inglenook fireplace while offering comfortable, well-proportioned living spaces including a very large lounge and a generous kitchen/diner.
Outside, a south-facing three-tier garden maximises the views and sunlight; a mature mulberry tree and raised decking create distinctive, usable outdoor rooms for family life and entertaining. The property is also extremely convenient for daily needs — a short walk to Leigh Broadway, Old Leigh and Leigh station — while sitting on a large plot with potential to adapt subject to consents.
Buyers should note a few practical points: some original single-glazed and Critall-style windows remain and there is secondary glazing in places, so further thermal upgrading is possible. The owners currently use a nearby garage which may be available by separate negotiation. The area records above-average crime compared with national figures; purchasers should satisfy themselves on local matters.
This home will suit buyers looking for a distinctive seaside family house with strong period character, excellent views and scope for sympathetic updating rather than a brand-new, low-maintenance property. Its location, garden and size make it particularly attractive for families wanting easy access to good local schools and coastal amenities.
