5 bed detached house for sale

High Street, Burnham-On-Crouch CM0

A brief history of 61 High Street.

The Well House was built in 1807 originally an octagonal building, locally known as the ‘Round Chapel’ and constructed on the site the much older Baptist Church called The Jew’s Watering Hole. In the late 1800’s it was extended and the front gable was added. In 1910 The Well House was then repurposed as a Drill Hall for the Essex Regiment, with side extensions added for a rifle range. In 1964, the vendor's family purchased the property, converting it into a snooker club with a rear extension for a second staircase, and the two shops on the High Street.

This wonderful building has so much potential to make into a fantastic family home and/or run a business.
