General information This impressive family home sits proudly on Low Road as an individually designed property where improvements over time have seen a large additional living room to the rear and dual garages either side, providing ample space for vehicles and hobbies alike. A large south facing conservatory welcomes you in with the remaining downstairs accommodation being another sitting room, kitchen and WC. Upstairs, four bedrooms and the bathroom complete the residence but there is an enormous amount of scope for improvement. The home, plot and aspect must be viewed to be fully appreciated to enable a better feel for what could be done here, with a little imagination (STPP).
The modern conservatory is now the main entrance for the home, leading into the large sitting room with a serving hatch into the kitchen and windows to front and side, maximising the light ingress from the south facing front garden. A doorway leads through to what would have been the original entrance hall with open stairs to the first floor, door to kitchen and hall through to the rear living room. Additionally there is a good sized under stair storage area and WC.
Upstairs, the turning stairs continue round and provide access to all bedrooms and the upstairs WC and separate bathroom. The larger bedrooms are to the front, with a loft hatch on the landing.

The outside The front of the home has a sweeping horseshoe paved driveway which leads to both garages fronting passing the front of the conservatory. Bordered by established hedging, the remainder of the front is laid to lawn with twin double gates to the drive, and a low wall front.
The rear garden commences with patio and paths to the rear lawned area, and allotments to the rear with conifers providing privacy to the rear border. A good sized shed and metal storage cupboard, greenhouse and summer house are all to remain with a covered lean to from the rear giving cover from the elements, with gated side access.
Where? The property is located on a popular road in Dovercourt within close walking distance of the nearby beaches, schooling and upper Dovercourt shopping parade. Bus links are almost on your doorstep with links through to Colchester and further afield.
Dovercourt is a peaceful family resort with gentle shelving sands and shingled beaches including the landmark historic Leading Lights. A wide range of family activities are available including an impressive range of sports and leisure facilities including a skate park, model yacht pond and boating lake, putting green and bowls club. The resort enjoys panoramic views of Harwich and the port of Felixstowe and Hamford water national nature reserve.
