Chain-free four-bedroom home with large south-facing garden near the marina.
Grade I listed cottage dating from the 1300s
A rare Grade I listed four-bedroom cottage dating from the 1300s, set inconspicuously on Brightlingsea High Street with generous outdoor space and modernised services. Original features such as exposed beams, brick fireplaces and a turret staircase sit alongside a recently fitted kitchen and bathroom, giving a comfortable balance of character and contemporary living. The property is chain free and benefits from a private driveway plus a secluded south-facing rear garden of approximately 100' depth — ideal for family gardening, safe play or entertaining.
Located a short walk from the marina, independent shops, cafés and good primary and secondary schools, this home suits families seeking character in a coastal small-town setting. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, supporting home working and everyday connectivity.
Buyers should note the property’s Grade I listed status: while it protects historic features, it will restrict alterations and can complicate repairs or extensions. The house has been thoughtfully updated but ownership carries the usual maintenance responsibilities of an ancient building. Early viewing is recommended to appreciate the scale and period detail firsthand.
