Description
David Martin Estate Agents are delighted to offer for sale this former public house, 'The Cricketers', situated in the highly desirable village of Goldhanger. Occupying a plot of approximately 0.18 acres, the property benefits from a garden and car park and presents an exciting opportunity for conversion to a substantial private residence or potential redevelopment for a new home (subject to the necessary planning permissions). The property currently comprises the former public house premises with a spacious three-bedroom flat above, offering versatile accommodation. Character features are evident throughout, including exposed beams and attractive fireplaces, adding to the building's heritage appeal. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a character building with significant potential in a prime village setting.
Situated on the north bank of the picturesque Blackwater Estuary, Goldhanger is a highly desirable waterside village positioned between Heybridge and Tollesbury. It is renowned for its stunning coastal walks, far-reaching estuary views, and abundance of natural beauty. A strong sense of community further enhances its appeal. Despite its peaceful setting, Goldhanger remains conveniently located. The historic town of Maldon is within easy reach, while excellent road links provide access to Chelmsford, Colchester, and London - ideal for commuters seeking a balance between rural charm and connectivity.
AGENT NOTE Please note that all viewings to this opportunity are to be arranged and accompanied by a member of David Martin Estate Agents.

Flood Risk
Environment Agency open data, checked around the advertised map pin for the listed acreage. Long-term risk counts flood defences; the planning map's flood zones do not. The map pin for this listing marks the postcode area rather than the exact location, so these readings describe the surrounding area. Provided by LandSale, not the listing agent, and not part of the agent's particulars. Risk varies across a holding, so verify before committing.
