Local amenities are within easy reach, including the award-winning Black Pig Café (7 minutes), Maldon’s fresh seafood stall (7 minutes), and Maldon Smokehouse (6 minutes). The historic town of Maldon itself is approximately a 35-minute walk, providing a wider range of shops, restaurants, and services.

The property offers well-balanced accommodation, including off-road parking, basement storage, two bedrooms, a walk-in wardrobe, and a contemporary open-plan lounge, kitchen, and dining area designed for modern living.

Externally, the courtyard garden provides a peaceful and private space to relax or entertain, perfectly positioned to enjoy the stunning waterside views and spectacular sunsets. As the evenings cool, the log burner creates a warm and inviting retreat indoors.

Bankside is more than a home — it is a rare coastal sanctuary where lifestyle, landscape, and tranquillity come together beautifully.
