About
The Superintendent's House - Impressive Four Bedroom Detached House An impressive four bedroom detached house forming part of the historic Grade II listed former Southminster Police House development, offering spacious accommodation, front gardens, courtyard and parking with EV charging.
The Superintendent's House presents a unique opportunity to rent a character home within this historic development, originally constructed in 1901 to the designs of Essex County Architect Frank Whitmore.
The former police station complex is recognised for its architectural and historic interest, comprising the original police station, magistrates' court, police residences and detached coach house.
The house itself formed part of the original police residential accommodation, and the historic listing identifies the Superintendent's House as a two-storey building with its own distinct residential layout.
The original plan form and a number of historic features, including the staircase, door surrounds and doors, are noted as surviving elements of the building.
This impressive home offers a generous layout arranged over two floors, with accommodation including a living room, separate dining room and fitted kitchen with adjoining scullery.
The entrance hall leads through the house to a further side door opening onto the courtyard.
The ground floor also provides a shower room, while the first floor offers four bedrooms, a family bathroom and a useful utility room with plumbing for a washing machine.
The fitted kitchen has a scullery adjoining, providing additional useful space and plumbing for a dishwasher.
Outside, the property benefits from a courtyard with a brick-built store, a gate leading to the shingled driveway and an EV charging point.
There is also a lawned garden extending to the front and side of the house.
The Superintendent's House combines the character and history of an original police residence with the convenience of a modern four bedroom home, offering an exceptional rental opportunity within this unique Southminster development.
