Firs Chase West Mersea, CO5 8NG

Game Estates are delighted to present this exceptional and rarely available detached residence, occupying one of West Mersea's most sought-after and enviable positions.

Tucked away in a secluded setting just off Firs Chase on the Anchorage side of the island, this substantial four-bedroom home offers a truly unique opportunity to create a spectacular coastal residence in a location where properties seldom become available.

Set within a generous plot and approached via a large private driveway leading to a double garage, the property enjoys an abundance of privacy whilst remaining just a short stroll from the shoreline, the famous West Mersea Yacht Club and the many attractions that make this part of the island so desirable.

Having been held by the same ownership for many years, the property now presents an exciting opportunity for a new owner to undertake a comprehensive programme of refurbishment and modernisation.

While the house requires significant updating throughout, it provides the perfect blank canvas for those looking to design and create a bespoke family home tailored entirely to their own tastes and requirements.

The combination of its secluded setting, generous accommodation, excellent plot size and prestigious location makes this a genuinely rare offering.

Opportunities such as this are increasingly difficult to find, particularly in one of West Mersea's most established and desirable residential enclaves.

Whether you are seeking a forever family home, a prestigious coastal retreat or an exciting development project, this property represents an outstanding chance to acquire a home with enormous potential in an exceptional location.

Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate both the setting and the possibilities on offer.
