A rare Grade II listed shop house dating from the 16th century, set in the heart of Old Harwich. The property combines extensive period character — exposed beams, parquet floors and sash windows — with usable modern fittings such as an updated kitchen, integrated appliances and a south-facing roof terrace. Ground-floor commercial space spans multiple rooms and currently opens to the street, offering immediate mixed-use income or conversion potential (subject to planning).
This end-of-terrace building provides flexible accommodation over three floors: a generous first-floor lounge, a long kitchen/diner, a bathroom and two double bedrooms on the upper floor, plus a further ground-floor room that can serve as a study or third bedroom. Outside there is an enclosed rear yard with gated access and a private roof terrace — useful for tenants or personal enjoyment.
Buyers should be aware this is a listed building, so repairs, alterations and any conversion of the commercial unit will require Listed Building consent and planning approval. The surrounding area is classified as very deprived with above-average crime levels, which may affect rental demand or resale positioning. The sale is freehold and offered with no onward chain but the property will need ongoing maintenance consistent with its age and listed status.
