Mill End, Bradwell-on-Sea

Situated on the edge of the picturesque, river-fronted village of Bradwell-on-Sea, Hill House is a particularly interesting detached period property dating from circa 1791. The property is not listed and offers a rare combination of period character, versatile accommodation and substantial outside space, including an exceptional detached double garage and workshop.

The property retains a wealth of original character and period features, including oak panelling, exposed beams, fireplaces and a host of original detailing.

The ground floor comprises an entrance porch and hallway, an attractive living room, a well-appointed kitchen with walk-in larder and cellar, a dining room, and a further reception room. Subject to individual requirements, this versatile room could provide a fourth bedroom, particularly as it benefits from an adjoining bathroom. Alternatively, it would make an excellent additional reception room, home office, snug or study.

A particularly unusual feature is the substantial main cellar, which enjoys full head height and can be accessed both internally and from outside. The cellar retains an original open fireplace with baker's oven, exposed beams and brick flooring, and also provides access to a fully operational sauna and walk-in shower.

The first floor offers three bedrooms, with the principal bedroom enjoying exposed beams and openings to the eaves. Bedrooms one and two are served by a Jack and Jill bathroom, with an additional shower room also provided.

Outside, the property really comes into its own, with a generous and private rear garden incorporating a large patio and raised veranda accessed from the dining room. Of particular note is the superb detached double garage and workshop, accessed via double gates from Mill Road. This is an exceptional facility for the motor enthusiast, providing substantial workshop and garaging space, while the large first-floor room above offers considerable versatility and potential. Subject to the necessary consents, this could potentially lend itself to conversion into an annexe, home office, studio or additional accommodation.

There is also extensive parking alongside the garage and further parking to the front of the property, providing ample space for multiple vehicles.

Bradwell-on-Sea is a desirable riverside village with a strong community atmosphere and semi-rural setting. Local amenities include a community-run village store, public house/restaurant, church and primary school, while the surrounding countryside provides numerous walking routes. Bradwell Marina, the local slipway and nearby beach are also within easy reach for those who enjoy life on the water.

Hill House offers a fascinating combination of period character, flexible accommodation and exceptional ancillary space, with the detached garage and workshop providing a particularly rare opportunity for those requiring extensive garaging, workshop facilities or potential additional accommodation. An internal inspection is strongly recommended to fully appreciate what this individual property has to offer.
