Ladysmith Avenue, Brightlingsea, Colchester CO7

This distinctive detached family home in Brightlingsea presents a compelling opportunity for those looking to invest in a property with significant renovation potential. Set within a charming waterside town, the Edwardian Villa boasts over 2,788 sqft of living space and features a wealth of period characteristics, such as original parquet flooring and elegant marble fireplaces. With multiple reception rooms suitable for both family living and entertaining, alongside five bedrooms plus a flexible study or nursery, this residence offers substantial accommodation spread across two levels. The large sash windows invite natural light throughout the home, enhancing its appealing character. While the property has seen only three families since the 20th century and is on the market for just the second time in over a century, it does require refurbishment to unlock its full potential. The generous rear garden, approximately 140ft long and featuring outbuildings with possibilities for conversion into workshops or leisure spaces, further adds to its value. This property is ideal for buyers seeking a project that can transform it into their dream home while preserving its historic charm.
