Fountain House is a striking Grade II-listed Georgian residence set in Mistley’s historic high street, offering classic period proportions and uninterrupted riverside views. The house has generous reception spaces, three double bedrooms, a cellar and two spacious attics — features that suit comfortable family living or a sought-after second home by the water.
Practical strengths include a south-facing courtyard for al fresco dining, walkable access to the mainline station, and a compact layout that is easy to maintain. The property is chain free and has good broadband, low flood risk and convenient road links to Colchester and Ipswich, making it suitable for commuters and lifestyle buyers alike.
Buyers should note the listed status: any alterations will require listed-building consent and may restrict modernisation or extension plans, which could complicate renovation. There is only one bathroom for three double bedrooms, and the property shows scope for updating — an opportunity to add value but also a likely cost to consider.
Overall, Fountain House is best for buyers who value historic character, riverside location and potential. It will particularly appeal to purchasers willing to work within listed-building constraints to enhance the interior while preserving the building’s architectural significance.
