Burnham on Crouch

A detached 1930’s residence standing on secluded grounds of 0.28 Acres (stls) with views over the Church green

What We Say at The Zoe Napier Group

This really is a superb property that screams potential! With just under a third of acre of grounds there is ample scope to expand and increase the existing footprint if required (subject to the necessary consents), whilst the location really is to die for, nestled along a quiet lane with sensational views over the church green and yet only a short walk into the heart of the bustling, thriving town centre of Burnham on crouch that incorporate a plethora of amenities, sailing clubs and railway station that provides direct access into London Liverpool Street.

What the Owner Says

We have loved living here for the last eleven years and have thoroughly enjoyed bringing the property back to life and we have made so many lovely friends within the local community. The garden was wonderful for the children to run around when they were smaller but they have now grown up, so we have decided to downsize and allow another family enjoy all that the property has to offer.

History & Background

A delightful three bedroom detached 1930's cottage, of most appealing white rendered elevations under a clay tiled roof with dormer windows and contrasting window shutters to the principal rooms.

The ground floor accommodation includes good size sitting and dining rooms, spacious kitchen/ breakfast room and cloakroom, whilst on the first floor there are three double bedrooms and a family bathroom.

Externally there is a large, detached garage/ workshop to the front of the property and off-street parking for two vehicles, whilst to the rear the extensive grounds extend to 0.28 acres (stls) and are mostly laid to lawn with an abundance of mature trees and shrubs providing optimum seclusion. 

Setting & Location

The property is situated along the Marsh Road in a delightful position fronting directly onto the church green of Saint Mary the Virgin church and within a short walk into Burnham on Crouch, a charming small maritime town, world famous for being a yachting centre and calmer waters of the Crouch Estuary. The town offers an envious array of traditional shops with plenty of pubs, tea rooms and restaurants all of which are within walking distance from the property. Burnham on Crouch has its own rail station for London's Liverpool Street. This train journey alone is most scenic travelling through the marshes and alongside the river. The typical journey time is 1 hour 10 minutes and a perfect way to travel for Londoners looking for a weekend escape or holiday let accommodation in Burnham.

Burnham on Crouch also has good educational facilities with a C of E primary school (Ofsted Good), a County Primary School and Burnhams Ormiston Rivers Academy which remains a Good school for senior education.
