This two-bedroom Edwardian terrace, built in 1909, offers characterful living with a remarkably long south-facing garden of approximately 147ft — rare for a terraced cottage. The ground floor has a bay-fronted lounge open to a dining area and an adjoining galley kitchen that overlooks the garden, creating a bright open-plan feel. At about 708 sq ft, the house is a manageable size for first-time buyers wanting space without excessive upkeep.
The location is a key draw: Waterworks Road sits within easy walking distance of the village centre, Tollesbury Marina, the sea wall and everyday amenities including a baker, butcher and local store. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, crime is very low, and the local primary schools are rated Good — practical benefits for new homeowners.
The property does need updating in places: several internal areas show mid-century/1970s–1980s fittings and there is clear potential for modernisation or cosmetic refurbishment. The bathroom layout is unconventional — accessed via the rear bedroom, with a separate WC off the front bedroom — which may affect privacy and could prompt reconfiguration. Parking is available on-street but not allocated, and Waterworks Road is unadopted, which may carry responsibility implications.
Practical considerations to check before purchase include the unknown tenure, the condition of services and any works required to modernise the interior. Seen as a renovation-friendly starter home, this cottage rewards modest investment with village-centre convenience and an exceptional south-facing garden for outdoor living.
