OLYMPIC swimmer Mark Foster went to school just a matter of miles away from this property, but he would have loved having this swimming pool in his back garden as his career progressed.

We’re into the colder months of the year, but a dip in the heated swimming pool could be refreshing during these tough times we find ourselves in having gone into a third national lockdown.

The house, on Lodwick, Shoeburyness, has just come onto the market with Dedman Grey Residential.

But, with a swimming pool, games room and incredible views of the Thames Estuary on offer, only bids over £1.8million are being considered.

Echo:

Fun and games - the cinema and games room

The home backs directly onto the seafront and has outside space to die for, with there also being enough room for a miniature football pitch to put your skills to the test.

Views - the property overlooks the Thames Estuary

Cooking up a storm - the kitchen

Inside the three-storey house is a cinema and games room large enough to allow the current owners to enjoy a ping-pong table and piano, along with a huge lounge and kitchen-diner.

Echo:

Great views to wake up to - one of the bedrooms

You can wake up to incredible sea views, with the master suite benefitting from an en-suite and balcony overlooking the seafront.
