<p>Set within Mistley’s historic Quayside Maltings, this one-bedroom duplex apartment with no onward chain offers a distinctive waterside home with exposed brickwork, estuary views, a private balcony and the character of a Grade II listed Victorian conversion.<br/></p><p>The building stands directly on the quayside, with its red brick elevations, industrial proportions and waterfront position giving the apartment a setting that feels very different from a conventional modern flat. Inside, the accommodation is arranged over two floors, creating a natural separation between the bedroom and the main living space, while still keeping the apartment manageable, practical and well suited to lock-up-and-leave living, commuting, investment or a characterful first home.<br/></p><p>The entrance level gives access to the shower room and bedroom, with stairs rising to the living accommodation above. The bedroom is a well-proportioned double with an integral wardrobe, neutral carpet and a feature wall, but it is the exposed brick and glazed French doors that define the room. From here, the space opens directly onto the balcony, drawing the eye out towards the River Stour and giving the lower level its own direct connection to the water.</p><p>The balcony is compact but meaningful, with enough room to step outside and take in the changing estuary outlook. Its glazed balustrade keeps the view open, looking across the tidal foreshore, river channel and working quayside below. This is not a sanitised waterfront setting, but part of Mistley’s real riverside character, where historic buildings, open skies and the movement of the quay all form part of the scene.</p><p>Also on the lower floor, the shower room has been recently renovated and is finished in a clean, modern style. It includes a glazed shower enclosure with marble-effect wall panelling, WC, pedestal basin, tiled floor and chrome towel radiator, giving this level a fresh and practical finish.<br/></p><p>Upstairs, the apartment opens into a bright living space with the kitchen arranged at one end and the main seating area extending towards the river-facing window. The proportions allow for defined living and dining areas if desired, while pale flooring and white walls keep the room simple and adaptable. At the far end, an exposed brick wall and deep-set window bring the converted Maltings character back into focus, framing a view out across the River Stour.</p><p>The kitchen sits neatly within the open-plan room and offers more functionality than many one-bedroom apartments. Timber-fronted units provide good storage, complemented by dark work surfaces, white tiled splashbacks and under-cabinet lighting. Integrated appliances include a fridge freezer, dishwasher and washing machine, along with a Bosch oven, electric hob and extractor.<br/></p><p>The apartment also benefits from lift access within the block and off-street parking, adding important practicality to a property that already has strong lifestyle appeal. Mistley Station is within easy reach, making the location well suited to buyers needing rail connections towards Manningtree, Colchester and London, while the wider Mistley and Manningtree area offers riverside walks, independent places to eat and drink, and the character of one of the Stour Estuary’s most recognisable historic settings.</p><p>With its duplex layout, balcony, estuary outlook and position within the Quayside Maltings, this is a one-bedroom apartment with far more personality than its footprint alone might suggest.<br/><br/><br/><strong>IMPORTANT INFORMATION</strong><br/><br/><strong>99 Years remain on the lease</strong><br/><strong>Service charge £1,763 annually</strong><br/><strong>Ground rent £600 annually</strong><br/><strong>Managing agents PMS</strong><br/><br/><strong>Photographs </strong>are two years old as the home is tenanted until the second week of June 2026. <br/></p>
