Burnham on Crouch

A deceptively spacious Victorian property located in the heart of Burnham High Street opposite Royal Burnham yacht club

What We Say at The Zoe Napier Group

The moment you enter the property it immediately strikes you how deceptively spacious it is, boasting four bedrooms, three reception rooms and two bathrooms. Being located in the heart of this bustling, coastal market town, it represents a fantastic opportunity for an incoming buyer to combine nautical purists with all the amenities the town has to offer.

What the Owner Says

I purchased the property some years ago for my parents so they could see out their days in this wonderful coastal location. Sadly my father has passed away and my mother now resides in a care home, so I have made the decision to part company with the property and offer it for sale with no onward chain.

History & Background

This deceptively spacious four bedroom character property is originally believed to date back to 1875, boasting a deluge of character features and enviably situated opposite Royal Burnham yacht club in an idyllic row of cottages within the heart of the High Street. The accommodation provides very well-proportioned living space with three generous reception rooms, including a fantastic sun room to the rear, perfect to relax in with a glass of wine at the end of the day, whilst enjoying glorious views over grounds. The first floor is accessible via two staircases, in effect providing two separate wings of first floor accommodation. Situated in the front section is the master bedroom with en suite bathroom, two remaining bedrooms and a family bathroom with a further bedroom in the rear section. The walled grounds are a particular feature of the property, beautifully mature and secluded, extending to 130 ft in length with the benefit of a substantial rear driveway offering ample off street parking.
