Comfortable Essex home with sea views; 50 minutes to London by train

We live in Leigh-on-Sea, a small town where London’s River Thames becomes the sea! Leigh is famous for its cockles and proximity to Southend-on-Sea, a popular seaside retreat for Londoners.
From our house it’s a five minute walk to the modern town centre with many bars, cafes, restaurants and independent shops. It’s also a five minute walk to the river front path that will take you to the old town of Leigh-on-Sea, still an active fishing port and a hub for pubs and other hospitality venues. There’s a small popular beach here and another a similar distance away down river at Chalkwell.
Our home is comfortable and spacious with sea views from many of the rooms. We have a large kitchen/family area and a lounge on the ground floor and a top floor living room with west facing balcony and panoramic views of the coast. Also on the top floor is an office/workspace with another balcony with views of the sea eastwards. There are 3 double bedrooms and 2 bathrooms (one with shower and the other with shower and bath). Outside there’s a small neat garden with seating and a gas barbecue.
There’s lots to do locally including Southend’s two theatres (The Cliffs Pavilion and Palace Theatre) with top acts and west end shows. London is in easy reach with a frequent train service from Chalkwell Station (10 minute walk) getting you to the city in under an hour.

Leigh on Sea is a very popular living location - often featuring in regional and UK polls as among the happiest places in the UK to live. Residents love the Thames Estuary on our doorsteps, the vibrant bustling town centre of Leigh and the charm of the old fishing town set on the riverbank. It’s also great that we have a reliable and quick train service into London (under an hour to the city)

Lifestyle

We both retired from our main careers about 8 years ago - but then made a foolhardy(!) decision to set up a microbrewery (Leigh on Sea Brewery). The brewery, on an industrial site near us has a successful Taproom open to the public and now also a great pub/restaurant which is within walking distance of our home.
We do love to travel and now that the brewery is well established locally we’re seeking to pass on our responsibilities to others and hit the road! Already in 2023 we have spent 2 weeks in Spain and 2 weeks in the USA.
We’re newcomers to house exchange this time round, but in previously Ian used Intervac extensively (during the 1990’s) to exchange numerous times to the US, France, Spain, Belgium and the Netherlands.
