This early-1900s detached house blends original period character with practical family living. High ceilings, sash windows and a feature fireplace give the principal reception a strong period feel, while the conservatory and south-westerly garden provide private outdoor space that benefits from afternoon sun. The ground-floor master bedroom with ensuite offers flexible single-level living or guest accommodation.
Upstairs are three further bedrooms and a family bathroom, suitable for children or home office use. At around 1,651 sqft the layout is comfortably proportioned for family life. The location is a key strength: minutes from shops, cafés, leisure facilities, coastal paths and rail links to Colchester, Chelmsford and London; nearby primary and secondary schools have Good Ofsted ratings.
Buyers should note a few practical issues: the property has solid brick walls likely without modern cavity insulation, and double glazing installed before 2002 — upgrades may be needed to improve energy efficiency. Crime levels in the area are above average. Council Tax Band D and freehold tenure are confirmed. Overall this is a characterful family home with scope for sympathetic updating to modern standards.
