Tucked at the end of a quiet no-through road, this chain-free two-bedroom semi-detached house offers straightforward living within a mile of Brightlingsea town centre. The property’s layout includes two reception rooms, a ground-floor bathroom and separate WC, plus a kitchen that opens to a decent rear garden—good for simple family life or a downsizer seeking ground-floor convenience.
The house retains period character in its solid brick Victorian build and double glazing fitted after 2002, but it needs updating internally. The garden is overgrown and would benefit from landscaping; the fabric suggests potential for insulation and energy improvements (EPC TBC). Off-street parking is available via a shared side driveway to the rear.
Practical local advantages include very low crime, good mobile signal, average broadband, nearby bus links to Colchester and local train stations, and several well-rated schools within easy reach. Tenure is freehold and there is no onward chain, making this a quick purchase option for someone prepared to carry out modest refurbishment works.
This property suits buyers looking to downsize into a manageable period home or first-time buyers wanting a project with sensible room sizes and garden potential. Be aware of likely upgrading costs for insulation, modern kitchen/bathroom fitting and general redecoration to bring the house up to contemporary standards.
