What the Owner Says

My husband and I discovered this lovely part of Essex over thirty-five years ago when we visited a friend who moored their boat in the local marina and after a few years we also caught the sailing bug and decided to buy our own boat and make the move ourselves. It has been a wonderful home for us and has allowed four generations of my family to live here in harmony and perfect for entertaining, we have hosted numerous parties of over a hundred people here, including my daughter's wedding reception but the time has now come for a new adventure which means with  heavy heart we will pass the baton onto the next family to enjoy.

History & Background

It is believed that the property was originally constructed in 1906 and utilised as the nurses' quarters for the local nursing home and indicative of its era is bursting with an abundance of charm, character and impressive high ceilings.

On the ground floor the sprawling accommodation incorporates characterful reception hall, generous sitting room, dining room, kitchen/ breakfast room, utility room and adjoining spacious conservatory, whilst on the first floor are four generous double bedrooms that are serviced by the family bathroom. The second floor boasts two further double bedrooms and shower room that is ideal for teenage children or alternatively an au pair.

The delightful grounds extend to 0.45 acres (stls) and are exceptionally secluded, mostly laid to lawn with a plethora of mature shrubs and trees and incorporate a generous home office that could potentially be utilised as a self-contained annexe if required (stp).
