A Unique Six Bedroom Townhouse House with Rich Historical Charm

Discover this rare gem in Old Harwich’s town, close to the waterfront - a sprawling six bedroom townhouse house of epic proportions that combines residential comfort with a touch of historical elegance.

Previously serving as a commercial hub, including the Harwich Free Press and a restaurant with flats above, this property, not grade II listed, offers a unique blend of history and character rich presentation. With over 3,000 square feet spread across four floors and twelve rooms, including a large cellar with independent access, the property offers up a trove of potential.

Retaining its Victorian charm, evident in high ceilings, original fireplaces, and decorative ceiling cornices, there are two open-plan reception rooms (over 40ft in combined length) which create a welcoming and light-filled atmosphere on the ground floor, leading to a vast, newly installed kitchen, boasting white matte fronted units, modern appliances, and French doors opening to the garden.

The first floor offers significant flexible living spaces, including a large reception or bedroom spanning the entire width of the home at the front with characteristic high ceilings and large sash windows, two additional double bedrooms, and a second kitchen (or utility). The luxurious bathroom, fitted in 2023, adds a touch of modern luxury. The second floor houses three more bedrooms, each with its unique character including sash windows and ornate wrought iron fireplaces.

Previously granted planning permission to convert into two homes, this property offers various possibilities, from a family home to commercial use or revisiting a planning application for a house of multiple occupancy (all subject to formal planning).
