About
** A rare coastal gem presented in the form of this three double bedroom grade II listed fishermans cottage - positioned to offer beautiful views across the thames estuary - rp&C Estate Agents are delighted to bring to the market, this surprisingly spacious character property located on the bustling seafront with easy access to major rail connections, Southend City centre and the iconic Southchurch Park.
This Grade II listed fisherman’s cottage, dating back to circa 1850, combines historic charm with modern design in a sought-after seafront location.
Offering three well-proportioned bedrooms, two bathrooms, and two inviting living spaces - a living room and an elegant dining room - this home is ideal for comfortable family living and entertaining.
The property has been thoughtfully updated, blending traditional period features with contemporary touches, such as bespoke Georgian-style doors, bold kitchen countertops, and a striking staircase.
The Memphis Art Deco fireplace and log burner adds a unique and stylish touch to the living room, while the cellar offers a hidden tanked cellar which can be used for storage or turned into a secret cinema room, children’s play room or a snug.
There are three double bedrooms along with ground and first floor bathrooms. Externally, there is a low maintenance and private rear garden and side access point.
The rear garden leads to a peaceful summer house, ideal for outdoor dining or unwinding.
Step outside to discover the front garden, paved in striking black-and-white Victorian-style checkmate and slate porcelain tiles, with coastal palm trees adding a touch of seaside charm, surrounded by a white picket fence.
The property retains its historic character with original single-glazed windows, while secondary glazing on the front windows enhances energy efficiency and sound reduction.
Beyond its historic appeal, the property offers a lifestyle rich in recreational opportunities. It's ideally suited for those with a passion for coastal living, water sports, and nature.
The setting provides not only vibrant surroundings but also excellent transport connections into Central London via a selection of nearby train stations.
Situated directly on the seafront, this home offers breathtaking sea views, yet remains far enough from the hustle and bustle to guarantee peaceful nights.
Parking bays are conveniently located right outside the house, part of the resident parking scheme in this sought-after conservation area.
With its historic charm, creative design, and modern comforts, this home presents a rare opportunity to own a truly unique seaside retreat.
