Description
Gossip Cottage is a charming Grade II listed property, believed to date back to the 17th century. Retaining its rich historical character, the cottage showcases its heritage with delightful period features, including multi-pane windows, parallel ridge and gable roofs, exposed beams, and a magnificent inglenook fireplace that serves as the heart of the home.
The ground floor offers a traditional layout, beginning with a quaint country-style kitchen, thoughtfully designed to complement the cottage’s character. There is space for a gas range cooker and plumbing for a washing machine, ensuring practicality alongside its rustic charm. The lounge is a warm and inviting space, featuring attractive dual-aspect windows that allow natural light to flood in, along with original exposed beams that add to the home's unique ambiance.
The first floor comprises two double bedrooms, both boasting charming period details, while a further staircase leads to a spacious third bedroom on the upper level.
Externally, the cottage benefits from off-road parking for two vehicles, with additional space to accommodate a small boat. The southerly facing rear garden enjoys sunlight throughout the day, designed for ease of maintenance with a predominately decked layout, perfect for al fresco dining and relaxation.
Situated in an enviable location on Mersea Island, Gossip Cottage is ideally positioned for those who appreciate coastal living. The nearby sailing facilities offer an active lifestyle, while the renowned Oyster Bar, just a short walk away, provides the finest fresh seafood dishes. With the beach and promenade at the end of The Lane, this beautiful character home offers the perfect blend of history, charm, and modern-day convenience.
