Comfortable, practical and well-laid-out for family life, this four-bedroom detached home in Brightlingsea sits within a quiet village setting close to shops, schools and a community lido. The large lounge/diner and adjoining conservatory create flexible ground-floor living that opens onto an enclosed rear garden — ideal for children and summer use. Driveway parking and an attached garage add everyday convenience.
The property dates from the late 1970s/early 1980s and is presented in generally sound order but with some dated interior finishes. Heating is mains gas with a boiler and radiators; windows are double glazed though install dates are unknown and walls have partial cavity insulation. These are practical features but buyers should note the home may benefit from targeted updating and an energy-efficiency review.
Practical drawbacks to consider: there is a single family bathroom serving four bedrooms, broadband speeds in the area are slow, and some rooms show 1980s/1990s décor that will need modernisation to suit contemporary tastes. Flood risk is low and the neighbourhood records very low crime, making this a safe, family-friendly location.
This house will suit growing families seeking space, a private garden and off-road parking in a seaside village, or buyers looking for a comfortable home with scope to improve energy performance and modernise interiors. A full survey and service checks are recommended given the age of the property and the vendor’s note that measurements and services are not verified.
