Set on Mersea High Street, this newly refurbished three-bedroom detached house offers ready-to-enjoy family accommodation with no onward chain. Interiors have been updated throughout, including a modern fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, two bathrooms (one on the ground floor) and neutral finishes that suit immediate occupation or let-ready rental. The lounge is light and dual-aspect with French doors to the garden.
Practicalities are a strong selling point: a wide driveway and an 18'10" garage with electric door provide ample off-road parking and space for a boat, motorhome or caravan. The plot is a decent size with gated side access to the rear garden. Gas central heating, average total area around 1,216 sq ft and low local crime make this a comfortable, secure family home close to beaches and village amenities.
Location will appeal to families who want schools, shops and the seafront within walking distance. Commuters can reach Colchester station in about 20 minutes for direct links to London and Norwich. Two nearby primary schools both hold Good Ofsted ratings.
A few pragmatic points: the property’s exterior has mid-20th century styling and dark cladding that may not suit every buyer’s taste. Broadband speeds are average, and while the interior is refurbished, buyers should inspect external elements and garage for any maintenance needs. Overall, this is a neatly finished, chain-free detached home with strong lifestyle and parking benefits.
