Summary - 50 NELSON STREET BRIGHTLINGSEA COLCHESTER CO7 0DN
3 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Period three-bed with extended kitchen/diner and private paved garden, close to the harbour..
Three bedrooms plus loft conversion accessed by pull-down ladder
A compact three-bedroom semi-detached home in Brightlingsea offering flexible living across three levels and close to the waterfront. The ground-floor double bedroom or extra reception room and an extended open-plan kitchen/diner with skylight create versatile family space. A loft conversion adds an additional room accessed by a pull-down ladder; two first-floor bedrooms have built-in wardrobes.
Externally the property has a small, low-maintenance paved rear garden with a large summer house/shed and a shallow forecourt to the front. The house dates from circa 1930–1949, with double glazing fitted after 2002, mains gas central heating and solid brick walls (assumed uninsulated). Council tax is low and there is no flood risk.
Practical drawbacks include a small overall footprint and plot, on-street parking only, and an above-average local crime rate. The building shows signs of needing general maintenance and modernisation; solid-brick walls may require insulating to improve energy efficiency. Loft access is by pull-down ladder rather than a permanent staircase.
This property suits buyers seeking an affordable period home close to coastal amenities — first-time buyers or young families wanting good transport links to Colchester, or investors prepared to update the interior to add value.
