ACCOMMODATION

Internally

Our vendors bought their home from new in 2005. Originally designed as a three bedroom bungalow with integral garage they felt the property provided more benefits by converting the garage into a large double bedroom.

They have predominantly used this room and the adjacent bedroom when their children and grandchildren come to stay, to enjoy the sun, sand, seafood, sailing and watersports that Mersea is so renowned for. Being so close to the beach and a leisurely walk to the town centre and anchorage it’s been a fantastic and exciting home and wonderful holiday retreat for friends and family alike.

This room would also work well as a second reception room, as a hobby room or cinema room, which could also have a bed settee for occasional guests.

Adjacent to the front bedrooms is the study or fourth bedroom. The family bathroom has a modern suite with walk in shower. To the opposite side of the hallway is the principle bedroom. Spacious and tastefully decorated with en-suite shower. Both bathrooms have been updated since the home was built.

To the rear of the home is the lounge and kitchen/diner. To the right is the spacious lounge that has recently benefited from new aluminum bi-folding doors that not only help bring light to the room but give easy access to the rear patio.

To the left is the kitchen/diner. This has also been reconfigured and updated since new. Originally with the sink to the rear against a window opening to the rear garden but now moved to left hand side worktop allowing the original window to be changed into bi-folding doors onto the patio. A space now that easily accommodates a six seater table and more in keeping with today’s lifestyle. To the front of the kitchen is a good size utility. Both the lounge and kitchen/diner open onto the paved patio.

Externally

To the front of the home is a gravel driveway for four cars. The west facing rear garden has been beautifully landscaped with a central circular lawn feature, surrounded by a paved footpath and a vast variety of colourful shrubs, plants and flowers to make it a welcoming and enjoyable area to sit and relax at all times of the rear. To the bottom of the garden is a useful summer house.

The rear patio also benefits from a cantilever canopy, should you want to shade from the sun or take shelter from a storm.
