Summary - 1 Ivy Cottages, Abbey Street, Thorpe-le-Soken, CLACTON-ON-SEA CO16 0JN
3 bed 2 bath Cottage
Period charm, sunny garden and village convenience for family living.
Walking distance to mainline station and village centre
Set on one of Thorpe-le-Soken’s most characterful streets, this three-bedroom cottage blends period charm with practical updates. The living room's exposed beams and log-burning stove create a warm, inviting focal point for family life, while a small study offers a dedicated space for homework or remote working. The cream Shaker-style kitchen with timber worktops, adjacent utility and stable-style rear door make daily routines straightforward.
Upstairs retains original floorboards and period detailing; the main bedroom benefits from recessed wardrobes and a calm, front-aspect feel. The bright family bathroom has a full-sized bath and sash window. A recently landscaped, south-facing garden with paved terrace, gravelled borders, lawn sections and a timber shed provides a low-maintenance outdoor space for children to play or for relaxed entertaining. Off-street parking and a covered side passage to the rear add practical convenience in the village centre.
Buyers should note the cottage’s age, with solid brick walls likely lacking cavity insulation and an EPC rating of D. Ceiling heights are low and some rooms are compact, which may limit larger furniture layouts. Broadband speeds are average and improvements to insulation or heating efficiency would add long-term value. Overall, this freehold property suits families or buyers seeking a characterful home within walking distance of the station and village amenities, with clear potential for targeted energy upgrades and cosmetic modernisation.
