3 bedroom semi-detached house for sale

A charming, beautifully refurbished Grade II Listed 17th Century residence within easy walking distance to Maldon’s town centre

What We Say at The Zoe Napier Group

This property really is the perfect ‘lock up and leave’ and given it’s close proximity to Maldon’s thriving town centre, will appeal to downsizers that want the convenience of having a multitude of restaurants, supermarkets and boutique shops on their doorstep, whilst having the River Chelmer situated quite literally a stone’s throw away makes it an enticing prospect for any sailing enthusiasts.

What the Owners Say

To say this property has been a labour of love for us would probably be an understatement, as when we purchased the property 18 years ago it was in a sorry state. We have meticulously brought it back to life with a lot of blood, sweat and tears! The quadruple garage to the rear has been a huge bonus for us and has allowed my husband to indulge in his passion in restoration projects.
