Summary - 8a, Upper Park Road, Brightlingsea CO7 0JP
3 bed 1 bath Detached Bungalow
Single-level coastal home with garden and parking, sold by live public auction.
Freehold detached three-bedroom single-storey bungalow
A vacant three-bedroom detached bungalow in mid-Brightlingsea, offered freehold and sold at live public auction. The property occupies a decent plot with off-street parking for 2–3 cars, a lawned rear garden, and a block-built shed. Located within walking distance of the town centre, beach and local schools, it suits someone looking for a single-storey home in a quiet coastal town fringe.
The house is dated and requires a full programme of renovation and redecoration throughout — systems, finishes and fixtures will need updating to modern standards. The accommodation is straightforward: lounge, kitchen, utility, three bedrooms and one bathroom within approximately 829 sq ft. Double glazing is present but installation date is unknown; heating is gas boiler and radiators. EPC rating is D.
Important sale details are material: the property will be sold at live public auction and is offered with vacant possession. Buyers should budget for auction fees (administration fee 0.6% inc VAT, minimum £900; buyer's premium 1.8% inc VAT, minimum £1,800) and refer to the legal pack for possible disbursements. The southern boundary access to garden is fenced and overgrown, currently inaccessible, which may affect garden use or access works.
This is a clear opportunity for a buyer prepared to renovate — suitable for a retiree seeking a single-level house to modernise to taste, or an investor looking to add value in a desirable coastal location. The site benefits from very low local crime, excellent mobile signal and proximity to amenities, but broadband speeds are only average and the home will need capital works before occupation or re-letting.
