A striking three-bedroom townhouse forming part of Mistley’s distinctive Secret Bunker development. Arranged across three floors and extending to approximately 1,040 sq ft, the property combines contemporary interiors with modern living, including a generous kitchen/dining room, separate snug, two first-floor bedrooms and an impressive top-floor principal suite with en-suite and private roof terrace.

Set within one of Mistley’s most individual residential developments, this contemporary three-bedroom home offers stylish and surprisingly generous accommodation arranged across three floors.

The property forms part of the redevelopment of the former Secret Bunker site on Shrubland Road, creating an architecturally distinctive collection of homes within the Manningtree and Mistley Conservation Area.

The accommodation begins with a generous entrance hallway, finished with elegantly tiled flooring that continues through to the main living space. A separate snug provides a comfortable retreat away from the principal entertaining area and offers flexibility as a sitting room/ cinema room.

The kitchen/dining room is one of the home's standout spaces, measuring approximately 16'11" in length. Contemporary cabinetry is complemented a substantial marble central island providing both preparation space and breakfast bar seating. Full-height glazed doors introduce excellent natural light and provide a direct connection with the garden.

A stylish cloakroom completes the ground-floor accommodation.

The first floor provides two generously proportioned bedrooms together with a contemporary family bathroom. Bedroom two measures approximately 14'5" x 8'2", while bedroom three is particularly generous at approximately 14'4" x 10'3". The bathroom is finished in a clean contemporary style with bath, vanity unit and WC.

The glazed doors from the second floor rear facing bedroom open directly onto a private roof terrace, providing an additional outdoor seating space and adding another dimension to the second floor.

The entire upper floor is devoted to the principal bedroom suite, creating a particularly private space away from the remaining bedrooms. Measuring approximately 18'3" at its longest point, the room incorporates characterful sloping ceilings and is accompanied by a modern en-suite shower room.

Outside, the property has an enclosed rear garden, while the frontage incorporates off-road parking. Combined with the property's contemporary finish, flexible accommodation and distinctive architectural setting, it makes an excellent alternative to a conventional modern townhouse.
