Very rare to the market is this Three bedroom Grade II listed cottage dating back to approx 1550, situated in a highly secluded position in West Mersea with stunning views of the estuary.
A Grade II listed cottage offered to let fully furnished and available to let from approx. Mid-February. This beautiful home dates back to approx. 1550 and offers a stunning blend of original character and cottage charm with a modern 'coastal touch' added.
Located in the sought after island of West Mersea this charming cottage is located at the bottom of a quiet private lane in a private secluded position, whilst also being within easy reach of everything Mersea has to offer. The property is approached via a five bar gate leading to a large driveway providing ample off road parking and small front garden with seating area. Please note the garage is retained by the landlord and not to be used by the tenant.
You enter through the front door where you are welcomed by two cosy reception rooms packed full of original features, including many exposed beams (if you're much above 6ft this may not suit you) and two large fire places with wood burners. Off of the sitting room there is a good size kitchen/breakfast room with a fully equipped kitchen including white goods and brand new oven. There is also a dining table with chairs. At the rear there is a door providing access out onto a large decking area in the garden. From the dining area there is a small rear lobby with door leading to the bathroom which has been sympathetically modernised and comprises bath with shower over and fitted screen, hand wash basin, wc and heated towel rail. Downstairs the accommodation concludes with the principal bedroom which is a fantastic size double bedroom which benefits from a wc and separate shower. Furthermore it has double doors opening out onto the large decking area which boasts far reaching views over the estuary.
There is a small staircase from the dining area which leads to the upstairs. Here you will find two further double bedrooms which are linked. Please note both bedrooms have restricted head height in parts of the room.
The highlight of this home is its impressive position and the fantastic sized rear garden it has to offer. The garden benefits from a large decked area off of the back of the property, an outside dining space, large garden shed and stunning views across the blackwater estuary.
