4 bed detached house for sale

Mersea Avenue, West Mersea CO5

£850,000 - £875,000

A truly one-of-a-kind detached property, this substantial four-bedroom bungalow occupies a highly desirable position on Mersea Avenue and offers an exceptional level of versatile accommodation arranged over two floors. Combining the convenience of predominantly ground-floor living with generous additional accommodation on the first floor, this individual home is ideally suited to a wide range of buyers and offers an impressive amount of space for modern family living.

The property is approached via a welcoming entrance hall, leading into a particularly spacious lounge diner which provides an excellent central reception space for both relaxing and entertaining with an additional room currently being used as an office. The generous proportions allow ample room for distinct sitting and dining areas, creating a comfortable and versatile room for everyday family life and larger gatherings. In addition, there is a large kitchen diner, providing another excellent social space and offering plenty of room for a dining table alongside a well-equipped kitchen area. A separate utility room provides useful additional storage and workspace, helping to keep the main living areas practical and uncluttered.

The ground floor provides two well-proportioned bedrooms, one of which benefits from its own ensuite shower room, together with a separate family bathroom and WC. This arrangement makes the property particularly appealing to those looking for flexible single-storey accommodation, with the ground-floor bedrooms offering ideal options for family members, guests or those who prefer not to use stairs.

A further reception room on the ground floor adds to the property's impressive versatility. Currently arranged as a second lounge, this room could equally be utilised as a fifth bedroom, home office, playroom, snug or additional guest accommodation, depending on the requirements of the new owners. The ability to provide either four or five bedrooms, alongside multiple reception areas, makes this a particularly adaptable home.The first floor continues to provide excellent accommodation, with the principal bedroom enjoying built-in wardrobes and a private ensuite shower room. A further bedroom benefits from useful built-in eaves storage, while a separate first-floor bathroom serves this level. The upstairs accommodation therefore provides an ideal private bedroom suite away from the main ground-floor living areas, while retaining the flexibility required for family or guest use.

Externally, the property continues to impress, with substantial off-road parking providing space for up to six vehicles. This is a particularly valuable feature and offers excellent practicality for larger families, visiting guests or those requiring space for additional vehicles. The property also benefits from two large storage sheds, a summer house and an outbuilding currently used as an office, providing a dedicated space for working from home away from the main house. Of particular interest is the potential for this building to be converted to create an annexe, subject to the necessary planning permissions and consents, offering an exciting opportunity for buyers looking to create additional independent accommodation.

The property's position on Mersea Avenue is another major attraction, being conveniently located close to local amenities and providing easy access to the many facilities and attractions that Mersea Island has to offer. Shops, cafés, restaurants and everyday conveniences are within easy reach, whilst the island's coastline and relaxed village atmosphere add to the appeal of this sought-after location.
