Set directly on the Blackwater Estuary at Heybridge, Blackwater Lodge Retreat is an exclusive waterside holiday lodge development with uninterrupted sea views towards Maldon. Buyers searching for holiday lodges for sale at Blackwater Lodge Retreat will find a handful of high-spec, design-led homes, each with generous decking, garden space and parking on an intimate, gated park. With a 12-month holiday season, holiday licence, sea views, WIFI and a pet-friendly policy, it’s ideal if you want a private coastal escape with a genuinely boutique feel.

Description

Blackwater Lodge Retreat is a small, owners-only holiday park of just 12 bespoke lodges, each on an oversized plot to maximise privacy, outlook and outdoor living space. South-facing decks look over the estuary, with glass balustrades and large windows bringing the water views into the main living areas.

Lodges are fully furnished, built to contemporary standards and come with modern fixtures, integrated appliances and a 10-year structural warranty. The gated entrance, private waterfront and manicured garden areas create a calm, high-end atmosphere that feels more like a private waterside enclave than a traditional holiday park.
