Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Tucked in the heart of Maldon, this home carries centuries of atmosphere into every corner – from the character-rich living room to the bedroom with soaring vaulted ceilings above. Outside, a walled garden with a croquet lawn offers a rare kind of seclusion in the middle of a town. When the mood calls for it, Promenade Park, fresh seafood, and walks along the Blackwater Estuary are all close by, and a dedicated games room means there's plenty to keep everyone entertained on quieter evenings in.

Home truths
At full occupancy, two guests will sleep on the sofa bed in the living area.
If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair. You'll need to request these in advance. Your host can also offer babysitter recommendations.
Several first-floor windows sit at a lower level than in a modern home and don't have restrictors. If you're travelling with young children, it's worth keeping an eye on open windows and securing them when the room is unattended.
Parking here is on the street rather than on the driveway.
