Shoeburyness Garrison Tour Part 2
29th September 2010. Military historian and author Major (retired) Tony Hill shows us around the old Shoebury Ness Garrison, now a housing estate.
No 6 Mess Road, The Garrison, Shoeburyness, Essex
A period -style executive home set in the distinctive surrounds of historic Shoebury Garrison, providing a unique seafront retreat designed for spacious, contemporary living.
A historic coastal haven
This unique seafront retreat comprises two luxury houses, designed to provide spacious and contemporary yet character-filled living with sea views.
Overlooking an unspoilt beach, the properties are surrounded by beautiful landscaped grounds and ‘The Old Ranges’ nature reserve. Situated in an area of national importance steeped in more than 200 years of military history, this is an opportunity to own a truly unique home surrounded by a prestigious part of Britain’s heritage.
The Shoebury Garrison
The strategic site of Shoebury Garrison, at the mouth of the River Thames, has been a defensive position since the Iron Age when, in 894AD, a rampart was built to protect the village that lay behind. Historians believe that the Danish Vikings subsequently set up base here, when they tried to overrun the Saxons.
The Garrison as a military site dates back to 1797, when a signal station was erected at the start of the Napoleonic wars. Having housed Royal Artillery and Gunnery schools since the 1850s, and with protected historical buildings and a Conservation Area, Shoebury Garrison is now recognised as an area of national importance thanks to its fascinating history, architecture and archaeology.
Escape to the sea
Each beautifully built home enjoys an exclusive position on the coast. From the front door, it is just a few steps to a quiet and secluded beach with far-reaching and breathtaking sea views.
A world away from the hustle and bustle of the busy streets of London, The Shoebury Garrison is the quintessential seaside escape. The intoxicating scent of the sea, the hypnotising motion of the waves and the gentle rolling of pebbles provide the perfect setting for homes of such class and character.
Garrison residents can look forward to the refurbishment of the historical tennis courts in Mess Road and the new Garrison Spa, situated in the highly distinctive former Horseshoe Barracks.
