Details

Boydens are pleased to present this spacious three-bedroom detached bungalow, ideally positioned on one of the most sought-after roads leading to the beach at West Mersea.

The property is accessed via a solid oak entrance door, opening into a generous reception area currently arranged as a dining room. This welcoming space features a limestone fireplace, creating an attractive focal point for both relaxation and entertaining. An archway leads through to a bright and airy lounge, enhanced by dual French doors opening onto the rear garden, as well as skylights and a side window that flood the room with natural light.
The adjoining fitted kitchen is well-appointed, offering ample storage and work surfaces, complemented by dual aspect windows. A door leads to a practical utility room with tiled flooring, and direct access to the rear garden—ideal for laundry and additional storage.

To the front of the property are two well-proportioned double bedrooms, each benefiting from bay windows that maximise natural light. A third bedroom is situated adjacent to a family bathroom, providing flexible accommodation for guests or home working.

Externally, the property is set back from the road, offering ample off-road parking and hardstanding suitable for a small boat, in addition to a double garage. Side access on both sides of the property leads to a private rear garden, predominantly laid to lawn, and featuring a decked patio area with a pergola—perfect for outdoor dining and entertaining.

Offered to the market with no onward chain, this property represents an excellent opportunity to acquire a desirable home in a prime coastal location.
