Hello, baby! Next on our luxury Essex waterfront homes for sale is this West Mersea four bed beachfront pad. There’s 2,000 square feet to call your own, also with a front aspect balcony to bedrooms one and two. Beach and sea views for just shy of a mill isn’t bad if you ask us.

Set across three floors, on the ground there’s a fitted kitchen with separate utility, living, dining and family room. You’ve also a conservatory (they’re back in fashion, don’t you know). A large raised garden terrace’s also yours for coffee as the sun rises, to a cheeky wine as the sun sets.

Shoeburyness, £1.75 million

Can’t fathom why this home’s close to £2 mill? Just look at the garden to see those views across the Estuary. It’s also on one of the most enviable of plots and has been updated throughout. Want more info on what you get for that price? Read on.

Four beds, three baths, study, lounge, dining room and luxury kitchen/breakfast/ family room kicks things off. We love its granite work surfaces and integrated appliances including two ovens, microwave, induction hob, dishwasher, washing machine and wine cooler.

Bedroom-wise, two have en-suites, one with dressing room and balcony. There’s a games room with underfloor heating and also bi-folds opening onto the rear. Then there’s a raised terrace with lower garden views. And pond. And summer house. And double garage. Go on then.

The next levels are just as swanky. That’s five beds; two with en-suites; the third offering views thanks to a walk in bay double glazed window. You’ve also a south-facing rear garden for chilling or entertaining, garage and two driveways. Two driveways? That’s proper fancy stuff.

Walton on the Naze, £850,000

I sea you: like what we did? But that’s what you get with this Art Deco-style four/five bedder, bang on the beach. Picture yourself with Factor 50 in one hand and coffee/G&T/wine in the other. One at a time – unless you’re super-skilled when it comes to a balancing act.

Carry on scrolling to check out the high spec kitchen. It’s also got an extension used as a family space with en-suite shower room: why not turn it into an extra bedroom for guests? The first floor has four double beds, bathroom, study/dressing room and south facing balcony – we like.

On the top floor is the bedroom to nab – well if you’re buying you’ve every right to claim it, with bifold doors opening out to a balcony looking directly over the sea. All that and electric gates, garage, secluded garden and also an extra detached outbuilding? If we must.

Maldon, £1.25 million

Also on our Essex waterside properties for sale is this five bed home, again with no onward chain. Concealed by trees and hedgerows (well with money should come privacy), you’re just a short stroll to all of Maldon’s indies. It’s also a stone’s throw (nearly) from the water’s edge.

Downstairs you’ve a lounge, dining room, study, utility room and of course a loo. There’s also a kitchen and breakfast room we’re green with envy over, with huge central island and tons of space to relax in. Then, for more space, a conservatory (we did say they’re back in fashion).

On to upstairs, with three beds and three baths (two en-suite). Outside? Large garden and terrace for sun and shade. As per is standard with £££ properties a double garage comes with. As for the driveway, it’s 119 feet. That gives you lots of space for parking – and then some.

Chalkwell, offers over £1 million

Here’s another of our Essex waterside homes for sale we’re loving. A three bed seafront apartment at the end of Chalkwell Esplanade; this one’s on the first floor with your own direct private lift access. Your own lift? Shame it doesn’t come with a bell-person (we’re PC here).

There’s an open-plan lounge/diner and kitchen with sound system and integrated appliances. Plus a south facing balcony for panoramic views. What else? Three double beds, two with en-suite and family bathroom. They’ve also built-in sound systems and underfloor heating.

Southminster, £740,000
