This Victorian terraced house on Fronks Road combines classic period features with practical family living. Large bay windows and high ceilings create bright, airy principal rooms, and the top-floor bedrooms capture sea views across Dovercourt Bay. The house offers four bedrooms and generous reception space suited to a growing family or multi-occupancy use.
Location is a major strength: the seafront, town centre and local amenities are within easy walking distance, and Harwich has good road, rail and ferry links. Nearby schools have good Ofsted ratings, and the property is in a low flood-risk area with excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for home working or study.
Buyers should note this property is offered by Modern Auction. A non-refundable reservation fee (minimum £6,600 or 4.5% of the purchase price) and other auction charges apply; there is an undisclosed reserve price and a fixed timetable to complete the purchase. Prospective purchasers must check the Buyer Information Pack, complete their own surveys, and allow for auction-time costs.
Structurally, the house is solid-brick and likely original to the early 1900s, so thermal performance may be limited and further insulation work could be needed. The rear garden and plot are small, and there is a single family bathroom, which may influence family layouts or require upgrading. Overall, this is a characterful, well-located family home with renovation potential and clear auction-related costs to factor in.
