The Old Courthouse, Maldon CM9

Bear Estate Agents are proud to present The Old Courthouse, a truly unique home in the heart of Maldon, offered to the market for £1,250,000. Beautifully restored over the years, this remarkable property offers an exceptional blend of character, space and modern comfort, creating a home unlike any other. Built in 1858, The Old Courthouse served as Maldon's Magistrates' and County Court until its closure in 1992, before being carefully converted into a private residence. While its fascinating history has been preserved through a number of original features, including Queen Victoria's Royal Coat of Arms, Victorian cast iron radiators and marble fireplaces, the property has been thoughtfully updated to suit modern-day living.

The real showpiece of the home is the former Courtroom to the rear. This incredible room is the largest in the house and immediately leaves a lasting impression with its scale, high ceilings and abundance of character. It's a fantastic space for entertaining, family occasions or simply enjoying one of the most impressive reception rooms you are likely to find in a home. It is without doubt one of the property's standout features.

The kitchen has been tastefully modernised while remaining in keeping with the character of the property. Large, high-level windows allow natural light to flood the room throughout the day, creating a bright and airy feel that makes it an enjoyable space for both everyday living and entertaining.

Outside, the beautiful roof terrace provides another impressive space to enjoy. Offering plenty of room for outdoor dining, entertaining or relaxing, it feels both private and elegant, making it a wonderful extension of the living accommodation.
