Stoneridge Estate Agents are delighted to bring to market this charming Grade II listed period home, full of historic character yet beautifully complemented by a striking modern extension. The property showcases a wealth of original features including an imposing Inglenook-style fireplace, exposed beams and traditional tiled flooring – all adding to its timeless appeal.

In recent years, the home has been significantly enhanced by the addition of a stunning garden room/extension. Designed with modern living in mind, this space is a true highlight of the property, offering direct access to the southerly facing cottage garden through two sets of sliding doors. Flooded with natural light from three overhead skylights, it creates a bright and airy atmosphere throughout the day. Underfloor heating ensures year-round comfort, while cleverly incorporated bespoke storage provides discreet utility space, making the room as practical as it is stylish. Whether used as a family hub, entertaining space, or a tranquil retreat, this garden room seamlessly blends contemporary convenience with the home’s period charm.

Upstairs, the first-floor layout offers three bedrooms, with the flexibility to configure as a generous master suite with dressing room, plus an additional study or bedroom to suit individual needs.

The property enjoys a highly convenient location, with everything Brightlingsea has to offer right on the doorstep. Local shops, cafés, doctors, schools (both primary and secondary), sports and leisure clubs, a lido swimming pool, community centre, and the popular waterfront with its beach all ensure an excellent lifestyle without needing to venture far. For commuters, nearby villages including Alresford and Great Bentley provide train stations with direct connections into Colchester, Chelmsford and London.
