Nestled on the highly desirable East Road in the heart of West Mersea, this distinguished four bedroom detached home presents a rare opportunity to own a substantial period property, steeped in character and offering remarkable versatility. Dating from the early 1900s, the house retains an abundance of original charm: high ceilings, sash windows, and beautifully preserved feature fireplaces imbue the interior with both elegance and warmth.
Upon arrival, the classic façade and generous frontage set a welcoming tone. A spacious gravel driveway provides off-road parking for multiple vehicles, while mature planting and boundary hedging offer a strong sense of privacy and tranquillity. Despite this peaceful setting, you are just moments from the coast and the thriving community amenities that make West Mersea so special.
The internal layout is generous, well-proportioned, and thoughtfully configured for modern family living:
A striking open plan kitchen and family room, centred around a log burner, creates a relaxed yet refined space that is perfect for both everyday life and entertaining. Country-style cabinetry, integrated appliances, and large windows give the room a bright and welcoming feel, with direct access to the garden.
A utility room offers practical support for household chores, and a shower room on the ground floor ensures convenience for guests or family.
Upstairs, there are four comfortable double bedrooms, each retaining period proportions and original detailing - a clear nod to the building’s heritage.
Outside, the property continues to impress with two substantial outbuildings. These could serve as workshops, boat storage, or potentially even be converted (subject to planning) - perhaps into stables or annex accommodation. The well-maintained garden is generous in size, offering a peaceful space for relaxation, al fresco dining or simply enjoying the coastal air.
