Nestled along a picturesque tree-lined avenue, this five-bedroom detached family home offers an exceptional opportunity for renovation and investment. Located in a sought-after area of West Mersea, the property is just a short stroll from the beach, providing both a serene environment and easy access to coastal leisure activities. Upon arrival, you'll find a spacious driveway that accommodates multiple vehicles, leading you to a well-proportioned residence. The interior features an inviting entrance hall that connects seamlessly to various living spaces. The ground floor includes two generous reception rooms—an adaptable lounge with double opening doors leading to the rear garden and a dining room that provides ample space for gatherings. The kitchen/breakfast room is well-equipped but could be modernized to suit contemporary needs, offering good potential for expansion into the adjoining utility room and larder. This layout allows for creative redesigns that can enhance functionality and aesthetic appeal. On the first floor, you’ll discover five bedrooms of varying sizes, presenting opportunities for personalization to cater to family needs or guest accommodations.

The outdoors features a sizeable rear garden complemented by mature trees and shrubs, which not only provide privacy but also enhance the landscape's charm. With space for entertainment and gardening projects alike, this area holds significant promise for further development or landscaping. Situated within close proximity to local amenities and recreational areas, this property stands out as an appealing project for those looking to invest in real estate in a desirable location. The possibility of extending (subject to planning permission) opens even more avenues for enhancing your investment. This home presents an exciting canvas where personal touches can transform it into your ideal retreat by the coast. With no onward chain, early viewings are recommended to fully appreciate its potential.
