This area is renowned for its safety and is known to be a great place to bring up children of all ages. Choosing this property over others was an easy decision for us. Not only does it provide ample space for our loved ones to stay, but our 4 grandchildren absolutely adore having their own bedrooms, especially the one at the top of the house with its own bathroom and a glimpse of the sea. The Chesney marble fireplace, stunning staircase, and beautiful stained-glass door that illuminates the hall add a touch of grandeur to the house. Every visitor falls in love with its undeniable charm and curb appeal. Commute convenience is another advantage of living here, as there is a mainline station with connections to London via Colchester.

The ideal next owner of Paddlers would be someone who appreciates the uniqueness of this property and desires a seamless transition into a modern yet cosy home. During our time here, we have made some improvements, including the addition of a lovely summerhouse in the garden and new boilers. Our personal favourite room is the Orangery, a serene space where we enjoy breakfast and stargazing at night. Our grandchildren, on the other hand, absolutely adore the spacious top bedroom with its own bathroom, where they take turns sleeping in their very own private space. One change that we are particularly proud of is the addition of the summerhouse, which has elevated the tranquillity of the garden and provided a perfect space for gatherings with friends and family. Some of our most cherished memories in this home include hosting beautiful garden parties and celebrating Christmas with our children, toasting marshmallows on the open fire. The beauty of the house now lies in its abundance of natural light, offering breathtaking sunrises both at the front and in the garden. Leaving this wonderful neighbourhood will undoubtedly be bittersweet, as it will be a challenge to find another road as friendly and lovely as The Crescent. The local community here is incredibly supportive, and there are plenty of activities to engage in, such as tennis, golf, cricket, choirs, and the famous summer theatre. Not to mention, the unspoilt beach is perfect for swimming in the sea. As for the reason behind our decision to move on, we simply enjoy the adventure of moving and exploring new horizons while we still have the opportunity. Paddlers has been our haven, filled with cherished memories and a strong sense of community. We hope that the next owners will find as much joy and fulfilment in this unique property as we have.
