A beautifully presented four bedroom period cottage with far-reaching estuary views, being offered for sale with no onward chain.
High Street of Burnham-on-Crouch, enjoying views across the River Crouch. Wymans is a beautifully presented four-bedroom Georgian cottage, steeped in local history and offered for sale with no onward chain. Originally constructed in 1785 by local merchant Richard Boughton, the property was formed as a pair of cottages and today represents one of the oldest surviving residential buildings in Burnham-on-Crouch. Wymans has deep-rooted connections to the town, having also served as a private school in the early 20th century. Arranged over three floors, the accommodation is both well-balanced and versatile, extending to approximately 175 sq m (1,883 sq ft). Many of the principal rooms enjoy delightful views towards the River Crouch.
The ground floor is entered via a hall which provides access to the principal reception rooms. To the front of the property is a generous lounge, benefitting from a wide bay window. Adjacent is the formal dining room. To the rear lies the kitchen, which is well-positioned and is complemented by a separate utility room providing additional storage space. A boot room and a cloakroom/WC complete the ground floor accommodation.
The first floor comprises two well-proportioned double bedrooms, both enjoying pleasant outlooks and ample built-in storage. A family bathroom serves this level, and a central landing provides access to all rooms as well as a staircase rising to the upper floor.
The second floor offers two further bedrooms, making the property particularly flexible for family living or guest accommodation. The principal room on this level opens out to a private balcony and enjoys access to a terrace, enhancing the sense of space and connection with the riverside setting. A separate shower room serves the upper floor.
