A tudor-style house is up for sale in Leigh(Image: Deep South Media)
Properties in Essex come in all shapes and sizes, with the odd unusual feature. From homes with a Charlie and the Chocolate Factory style lift, to a pool in the living room, there are some interesting quirks to find when looking for a home in the county.
But one property is up for auction which has taken unusual to another level. Based in Leigh-on-Sea, an unfinished Tudor-style property is up for sale, and it comes with its very own solar farm. For just over half a million pounds, the unfinished house could be made into someone’s dream home. In its current condition, the property is a shell ready for a buyer with a clear vision of what they want to complete the design to their own preferences.
Set in Leigh-on-Sea, one of the happiest places to live in the country, the house is in a desirable location. The coastal town has thriving independent shops, cafes and restaurants, and ideal for those who enjoy the beach, without the busyness of Southend.
Cosy Nook at 288 Eastwood Old Road sits on a plot of more than two acres and has striking herringbone brickwork. It is among 177 lots listed for sale by Clive Emson, the land and property auctioneers, ahead of its next sale.
Paul Wood, auction appraiser, said: “This is an exciting and rare opportunity to acquire a bespoke unfinished Tudor- style property. “This distinctive property has traditional oak beam detailing, offering a strong basis for a truly unique home.
“Currently presented in shell-like condition, the property remains incomplete and offers a blank canvas for those wishing to complete the project to their own specifications and taste. The house is supplied by a nearby solar farm which is included within the sale.
“Eastwood Old Road is within close proximity to a range of local amenities, including schools, parks, shops, and healthcare services. Pound Wood and Nature Reserve are nearby, offering excellent green space for walking, wildlife and outdoor recreation.
“The area also has strong transport links making it an ideal location for families. The surrounding road network (A127/A130) also offers easy access to Southend and wider Essex.”
The freehold guide price is £576,000 to £625,000. Bidding for the current auction, the first of the year, goes live on Monday, February 9 and concludes on Wednesday February 11.
