Summary - 61 NELSON STREET BRIGHTLINGSEA COLCHESTER CO7 0DZ
3 bed 1 bath House
Characterful three-bedroom Victorian, minutes from the seafront with garage and courtyard garden.
Double bay‑fronted Victorian house with original period features
Set just minutes from Brightlingsea’s waterfront, this double bay‑fronted Victorian house blends period charm with practical family living. Two bay-front reception rooms, working open fireplaces and stripped pine floorboards create welcoming communal spaces, while large sash windows flood rooms with natural light. A cottage-style kitchen/breakfast room overlooks a pretty walled courtyard, and a rare-for-the-area garage provides useful off‑street parking and storage.
Accommodation is arranged over two storeys with three bedrooms and a larger-than-average bathroom — a practical layout for a small family or couple needing extra space. The property is presented as move‑in ready and retains many original features such as the front door and decorative details, offering character without immediate major works.
Buyers should note the compact plot and small secondary bedroom sizes typical of town-centre Victorian homes; the courtyard garden is private but limited in extent. The house sits in an area with above-average crime levels, and the solid brick walls are likely uninsulated (common for the era), which could affect heating efficiency and running costs despite gas central heating.
Overall this is an attractive period home for buyers wanting character, a central seaside location and practical three‑bedroom accommodation. It will suit families seeking proximity to schools and amenities, or investors targeting a period rental near the seafront.
