Chapel Road, Burnham-on-Crouch

A most charming period townhouse, brimming with character and ideally positioned within the Conservation Area of Burnham-on-Crouch, just moments from the High Street and within approximately 90 metres of the picturesque riverside promenade, offering delightful waterside walks, public houses and eateries virtually on the doorstep.

The property offers well-proportioned accommodation arranged over three floors and is approached via Chapel Road through a small front garden, leading to the front entrance. The welcoming sitting/dining features an original open fireplace and an attractive bay window to the front elevation. This flows through to a rear reception room with a further open fireplace, with a small inner hallway and staircase positioned between the two reception rooms. The dining/sitting room in turn leads to the kitchen at the rear.

To the first floor, there is a generous double bedroom and a particularly impressive bathroom, fitted with a traditional four-piece suite comprising a roll-top bath and separate double shower cubicle, along with a display period fireplace. The second floor provides two further well-proportioned double bedrooms, enjoying far-reaching views, with the rear bedroom benefitting from, yet another, charming cast-iron fireplace.

The property retains a wealth of period features befitting a home of this era, including recently refurbished sash windows, exposed floorboards and four characterful fireplaces, three of which remain in working order. The owners also advise that a new gas boiler was recently fitted.

Externally, the property enjoys a unique ‘tropical’ style rear garden, predominantly timber-decked and featuring two sunken inset ponds, an array of mature palms and a sun terrace positioned at the far end—creating a delightful and surprisingly private outdoor retreat.
