Lee Road, Harwich, CO12

Tucked away on the peaceful and well-positioned Lee Road in Dovercourt, this detached three-bedroom bungalow blends seaside charm with generous interiors and excellent practicality. Just a short stroll from the award-winning Blue Flag beach, the home invites a relaxed lifestyle with nature on your doorstep and all essential amenities within easy reach.

Inside, the property opens into a bright and welcoming hallway, with thoughtful built-in storage and tasteful tiled flooring. The living spaces are arranged with a natural flow: a cosy yet spacious lounge leads into a versatile dining room, which in turn opens directly onto a raised, covered decking area—ideal for enjoying coffee on a crisp morning or dinner al fresco in the warmer months. The kitchen is particularly striking: pale blue shaker cabinets, warm wood-effect counters, rustic shelving, and a statement copper-toned wall give the space both style and substance. It’s a home that feels immediately welcoming but still offers scope for personal touches.

Each of the three bedrooms has its own appeal. The principal bedroom is positioned at the front and features ample built-in wardrobes, while the second and third bedrooms are ideal for guests, children, or even a home office. A modern, spa-inspired shower room with walk-in enclosure, travertine tiles, and underfoot herringbone flooring adds a touch of boutique comfort.

Outdoors, the property continues to impress. The front offers private parking and mature planting for kerb appeal, while the rear garden is perfect for those who enjoy outdoor living. With raised decking, a lawned area, mature borders, and a rear gate leading to a quiet lane, it’s both low-maintenance and practical. A sizable workshop and utility room (both with power) sit to the side and rear of the property, perfect for hobbies, storage, or future development potential.

Situated within walking distance of Dovercourt town centre, shops, cafes, and the mainline station with direct trains to London Liverpool Street, this home is as convenient as it is charming.
