Description

This two-bedroom semi-detached house presents a valuable opportunity for renovation enthusiasts or investors, conveniently located near the seafront and the bustling heart of Island life. The property is sold with no onward chain, allowing for quick transitions and immediate project commencement. It features ample parking space for multiple vehicles, as well as room for boat or caravan storage, adding to its versatility. Inside, the entrance porch leads to a hallway that connects to a spacious lounge benefited by a front-facing double-glazed window and access to a conservatory—ideal for enhancement into an inviting living area that opens onto the rear garden through French doors. The kitchen is functional but could benefit from modernisation; it includes practical units, work surfaces, an inset ceramic hob, and an eye-level oven. A recent gas boiler installation enhances its appeal. Upstairs are two well-sized double bedrooms furnished with built-in wardrobes, providing ample storage solutions. The family bathroom is fitted with a contemporary three-piece suite but may require updating to meet modern preferences. The exterior offers generous outdoor space with potential for cultivation in the enclosed rear garden that features a raised decked area. With planning consent, there is considerable scope to extend the property further to enhance living areas or create additional facilities. Situated at the lower end of Mersea Island, it sits close to local amenities, schools, and leisure facilities while maintaining easy access to Colchester's wider offerings and transport links towards London.
