About
The Old Court House - Three Bedroom Character Home A unique three bedroom home forming part of the historic former Southminster Police House development, offering an impressive open plan living space with vaulted ceiling and modern fitted kitchen.
The Old Court House presents a rare opportunity to rent a character property within this distinctive Grade II listed development, originally constructed in 1901 as part of Southminster's former police station and magistrates' court complex.
Designed by Essex County Architect Frank Whitmore, the historic buildings form an attractive Queen Anne composition, combining red brick elevations, traditional detailing and red clay-tiled roofs with contemporary living.
This individual home centres around a striking open plan living and dining space, featuring a vaulted ceiling and a modern fitted kitchen with a large central island to one end.
French doors open onto the side garden, providing a pleasant connection between the living accommodation and outside space.
The entrance hall provides access to a modern bathroom and separate utility room, while three bedrooms lead directly from the main central living space.
One of the bedrooms is accessed via a feature concealed door, adding a particularly interesting detail to this unusual home.
Outside, the property benefits from a shingled driveway to the front providing ample parking and an EV charging point.
Lawned gardens extend to the side and rear, offering useful outside space and an attractive setting.
The Old Court House combines the character of a historic building with the convenience of a modern home, making it a particularly appealing rental opportunity in Southminster.
