This unique and energy-efficient three-bedroom terraced home is built on the historic site of a former nuclear bunker. Thoughtfully designed, it blends modern living with a distinctive past, offering versatile spaces and stylish finishes throughout.

The entrance hall leads to a cloakroom, while the open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area serves as the heart of the home. Floor-to-ceiling doors flood the space with natural light and open directly onto the private west facing rear garden.

On the first floor, a flexible bedroom/sitting room extends onto a west-facing balcony—perfect for unwinding and enjoying evening sunsets. This level also features a further spacious double bedroom and a sleek modern bathroom.

The master suite occupies the entire top floor, boasting a luxurious en-suite and generous storage with a Juliette balcony offering views over the local rooftops.

Outside, a tandem driveway provides off-road parking with the addition of a half garage. The fully enclosed west-facing rear garden offers a peaceful and secure outdoor retreat.

Mistley Train Station is just a short walk away, offering direct services to Colchester and London Liverpool Street. The A120 and A12 are also easily accessible, ensuring convenient travel for work and leisure.

Mistley itself features local shops, cafés, and pubs, while nearby Manningtree offers additional shopping, dining, and a popular farmer’s market. The stunning Stour Estuary provides opportunities for walking, birdwatching, and water-based activities.

Families benefit from well-regarded local schools, including Mistley Norman Church of England Primary School and Manningtree High School, both known for their strong academic performance and welcoming communities.

As mentioned, this home sits on the site of Mistley’s former nuclear bunker, originally built in 1951 as part of Britain’s Cold War defenses. After serving as a museum until 2002, the site underwent extensive redevelopment, transforming into a sought-after residential community. The development carefully preserves its historical significance while offering modern, sustainable living spaces.

With its distinctive character, contemporary comforts, and rich history, this exceptional home is perfect for families and history enthusiasts alike.
