Om boendet

Fyrahundra Är gammal stuga med originaldetaljer och moderna bekvÀmligheter

Denna vackra klassificerade stuga II byggd 1600 har alla sina ursprungliga funktioner, sÄ dess sylt full av historia. Samtidigt har dekoren uppdaterats för att möjliggöra en frÀsch, kustnÀr kÀnsla men bibehÄlla mysigheten i en lÄg takhöjd, synlig balkbostad. Om du Àr över 6ft 3 "kommer du inte att passa in i denna stuga eftersom dess tak i det huvudsakliga vardagsrummet Àr mycket lÄga, men vi kÀnner att det bidrar till dess charm. Köket och sovrummet dÀremot Àr senare tillÀgg till huset och sÄ har tak i full höjd. Detta Àr ett hus som har utvecklats genom Ären och har en historia att berÀtta om bara vÀggar kunde prata!

Med ett fullt utrustat modernt kök och badrum behöver du inte drabbas av olÀgenheterna i en period av levande utan fÄr istÀllet en smak pÄ livet för en fiskare som skulle ha fiskat pÄ ön för hundratals Är sedan, med alla moderna bekvÀmligheter!

Huset har en stor bakre trÀdgÄrd med vacker utsikt ut mot mynningen och en liten brygga dÀr man vid högvatten kan fÄ tillgÄng till vattnet, för vattensporter. PÄ framsidan finns en stor uppfart med parkering för flera bilar.

Huset Àr belÀget i slutet av en lÄng privat uppfart som endast servar 5 hus som alla Àr undangömda i den "gamla staden" delen av byn, Àven kÀnd som The Anchorage pÄ grund av segling / yachtklubbar och Chandlers. Detta innebÀr att Àven om lÀget Àr mycket avskilt, lugnt och fridfullt, Àr du aldrig mer Àn nÄgra minuters promenad frÄn platser att Àta den hÀrliga skaldjur som erbjuds eller dricka pÄ de lokala pubarna. NÄgra minuters promenad tar dig till centrum av byn dÀr du hittar allt du behöver. Med slaktare, postkontor, bank, affÀrer och stormarknader av högsta kvalitet betyder det att nÀr du vÀl har kommit kommer du aldrig att behöva lÀmna ön igen tills det Àr dags att Äka hem!

Mersea Island vÀxer snabbt ett rykte som en "foody haven", och bara nÄgra minuters promenad frÄn Crabtree Cottage hittar du det berömda Company Shed. FrÄn denna lilla "skjul" vid vattenkanten kan du Àta nyfÄngade fisk- och skaldjursstunder ur vattnet. MÀnniskor vandrar frÄn London till detta opretentiösa matstÀlle varje helg för att uppleva den fÀrska skaldjur som erbjuds, dess rykte sprider sig sÄ stort. Det finns massor av andra högkvalitativa, Äterigen opretentiösa platser att Àta den lokala skaldjur eller andra matrÀtter som erbjuds, alla nÄs bara nÄgra minuters promenad direkt frÄn huset. Du behöver inte ta bilen, bara gÄ och ta sÄ mÄnga drinkar du vill! Kanske prova vart och ett av Mersea Island Breweries-öl eller Mersea Vineyard-viner!

Lovely cottage in a great location!

Really enjoyed our stay in this lovely quirky cottage. Best equipped kitchen of any cottage I’ve ever stayed in - loved the welcome goodies too. Secure garden was perfect for the dogs to run around, and also for us to admire the views, especially as we had good weather. I drew the short straw and had the upstairs room - as described, the stairs are very narrow and steep, so probably not suitable for six footers! All in all a really lovely cottage in a great location.

Didn’t know what to expect. Didn’t realise that we had to cross a causeway until we received the tide times via email. However it was not a problem. The cottage was quirky and only for short people

Beautiful cottage in a lovely location

This is a property of such individuality and charm... certainly not for those who want a hot-tub and a 60" television, but a treat for anyone who loves the sense of a home that has been restored with great affection and attention to detail. The upper storey, sitting room and stairs are just as they were when the building was constructed, so there is definitely a need for the tall to watch their heads! Downstairs is a good-sized double bedroom with French doors onto the garden, and a very comfortable bed. There is a WC off the room, and a separate shower. A family bathroom on the ground floor also has a bath/shower. The sitting room is beautiful, and down a step is a kitchen which looks out over the estuary. We only had three days here, but enjoyed the sound of waders feeding on the river at low tide, and the lovely view. Both my husband and his grandson enjoyed playing the piano. Unfortunately, the neighbour was having some work done on his home, but was very apologetic about any noise/ issues. Mersea Island is quiet and has not been commercialised ...although there are some splendid places to eat fresh seafood ( The Duke was our favourite). There is a village centre with a Michelin starred restaurant, and a friendly community. There are plenty of places to purchase food and some enjoyable walks in East Mersea. A delight...

Mersea revisited.

A really lovely little cottage in an idyllic location tucked away close to the creeks and marsh, quiet and ideal for walking our Working Cocker Spaniel with a dog proof garden he was very happy. Also coast, beach and village amenities all within walking distance and the island can still be circumnavigated on foot. Can highly recommend the now famous Company Shed, Sea Food at Dawn, and The Coast Inn for seafood and Mersea Barns out at East Mersea for breakfast etc, and fab homewear shop, also the newly revamped White Hart Inn in the centre of the village, now very smart with a Michelin Star, and the excellent Lotus Kitchen Chinese Take Away, still there after many years have passed! Also a must would be a boat trip around the creeks with the Lady Grace. Mersea had not lost its magic from memories of being a true ‘Mersea Native’ born and brought up on the island, much had changed but many parts still very much as remembered. Many thanks Vanessa.

Lots of postive things about property but very low ceilings strairs up to bedrooms very difficult

Nice property, good parking& good location for all amenities. Just low ceilings & staircase very difficult as low & steep around a corner & have to hold a rope. We didnt bring anything upstairs as worried to how to bring it down. I normally have tea in bed but this couldn't happen as it wouldn't have been safe so had to had up!! Garden fab & big. Wasn't clear all bathrooms downstairs. Wasn't as clean i would expect. Did enjoy but won't stay again

Beside the sea at Mersea

The listing is very accurate, and the cottage is even nicer in real life than the photos suggest. It's a perfect stay if you like older, quirky properties and don't mind wonky floors and low ceilings - my husband is 6'2" but he managed to duck his head and had no problems! The cottage is very well equipped, especially in the kitchen, and we made good use of the piano as well. The outdoor area is quiet and full of birds - a perfect, peaceful getaway. We slept extremely well in the very comfy downstairs bedroom and enjoyed cosy evenings in by the fire. There are plenty of places to eat and buy essentials nearby and lovely walks along the beach. If you like to keep busy with trips to local attractions, you'll need to get in your car, but there is plenty within easy reach if you wan this. We were happy to largely stay put and relax!

Bags of Character.

Lovely position with ample parking. House has bags of character. Tall guests will need to mind their heads! As a house that allows pets, a few of us suffered mild allergic symptoms. Entirely my fault however as it is advertised as such but worthwhile mentioning if your group has allergies. Great for walks and seafood 😋

Great location home from home.

My family stayed at Crabtree cottage and we had a great stay. It was definately like staying in someones home rather than a holiday let. Great location short walk over to the jetty. Walking distance to shops and local pubs. We enjoyed the views over the estuary at night with a glass of wine. The downstairs bedroom and shower were ideal for my parents.

Period Property with style

We have had a wonderful stay here. Both parents (in their 80’s) absolutely loved it and to my surprise too, two boys aged 12 did too. My elderly dad enjoyed playing the piano - even bought music with him to play. Enough space for the boys to run around, and a terrace for my parents to sit and enjoy the sun and view. It turned out to be the perfect getaway for everyone. We’ve loved it!! We’ve reminisced, and made new memories too. 😊. Exactly how it should be.

VĂ€rdens profilbild
We are a fifty something couple who have a passion for property and interiors. Most of our time is spent researching, designing and making either furniture for our properties or designing their interiors.

We spend a lot of time doing hands on jobs ourselves, it's not often you won't find us with a paintbrush or sander in our hands, it's what we do to relax, we do enjoy it so much.

We love creating relaxing, calming, beautiful spaces to spend time in. The trouble is we never sit still long enough in any of them to make full use of them. Instead we have decided to share the homes with you, so you can enjoy these special spaces too.

We really hope you enjoy spending time in them as much as we did creating them!

Varför vÀrden valde detta boende

We were brought up in rural Essex, so having lived in London for work for a few years we soon found ourselves missing the Essex coastline. We decided to look for a weekend home to escape from London and to spend more time with our friends and family. So the search began.

Having looked at other outlying villages in our part of Essex, we soon found that Mersea Island was the place for us. Although growing up only a stones throw from Mersea, we never fully appreciated it growing up. So when we found Crabtree Cottage in its amazing location, we soon realised we'd found a real gem in both this cottage and in Mersea Island. It really has its own charm.

Mersea Island is a special and unique place that enchants you from your very first visit, you'll want to return time and time again.

Vad som gör detta boende unikt

The many benefits of Crabtree Cottage include its secluded position down a long private driveway hidden from view. Even life-long Islanders have never heard of our location until they visit; we are so hidden away. However despite its secluded spot, the cottage is only a moments walk from the Anchorage part of the village, where the many Sailing Clubs, Pubs and Restaurants allow you to enjoy the coastal life!

Venture out beyond the bottom of the garden and you can walk along the sea wall all the way round the Island should you so wish! Or just a few minutes round the corner is West Mersea's Monkey Beach.

Just a 10 minute walk to the village centre allows access to all the amenities you could want. Once you've arrived no need to use the car, just leave it at home on the driveway! Perfect
