The Lifestyle Experience
Sunsets, Seafood, and Your Own Private Pub
The outdoor space at this property elevates island living to an art form. Boasting one of the longest west-facing gardens on the road, you are guaranteed sun-drenched afternoons and golden-hour sunsets.
The garden is an entertainer’s paradise. Seamlessly transition from a day on the water to an evening hosting on the expansive decking. Fire up the grill in the undercover BBQ area, or step inside your purpose-built private pub and sports bar. Complete with an adjacent home gym, this setup offers a level of leisure and fitness luxury rarely found in a private home.
Sophisticated Coastal Entertaining
At the heart of the main residence is the breath taking 32' x 20'2" open-plan kitchen and family room. Designed for long, lazy Sunday lunches and vibrant evening gatherings, this space features a sleek built-in gas fireplace, sophisticated ambient lighting, and high-spec culinary appliances (including double ovens with warming trays).
When the weather is warm, peel back the bi-fold doors to blend the interior seamlessly with the expansive decking, allowing the coastal breeze to drift through the home.
Rest, Sanctuary, and Accessibility
The clever layout offers total versatility. The ground floor features two beautifully appointed double bedrooms with ensuites, a dedicated music/playroom, and a professional home office that can easily convert into an additional downstairs suite. The entire ground level has been designed with accessibility in mind, ensuring ease of movement for wheelchair users or mobility scooters.
Upstairs, three further ensuite double bedrooms await. The principal suite is a true coastal sanctuary, boasting a lavish layout and two independent walk-in wardrobes—a touch of pure indulgence.
The Holiday Cottage: Independent Luxury or Lucrative Income
Perfectly detached from the main house, the two-bedroom, two-bathroom self-contained cottage offers a premier coastal escape. Currently a highly successful, income-generating Airbnb, it features a bright, modern open-plan kitchen and lounge, a ground-floor wet room, and a first-floor bathroom.
Whether used to generate a substantial secondary income, house independent extended family, or host weekend guests visiting for Mersea's famous regattas and oyster dining, this space adds incredible lifestyle and financial flexibility.
Connected Island Living
While Fairhaven Avenue offers a tranquil beachside escape, convenience is never compromised:
The Beach: Just a short, breezy stroll from your front door.
The Town Centre: A scenic 20-minute walk to Mersea’s boutique shops, supermarkets, doctors' surgery, and renowned seafood eateries.
The City & Commute: Just a 20-minute drive to Colchester North Station, placing you on a direct train to London Liverpool Street in under an hour.
This Fairhaven Avenue home offers the rare chance to trade the ordinary for an extraordinary island lifestyle—where every day feels like a luxury coastal retreat.

Without a doubt there are two large driving forces for people moving to the area. The excellent range of private and state schools. The grammar schools annually top the league tables across the country. The range of private schools offer a more tailored education and are exceptionally well sought after. The second, being value for money, although, as the town grows, house prices within the area look to rise steadily within the coming years.
