As a native Brummie, the notion of living near water evokes pangs of romanticism presumably felt in coast-dwellers when they imagine living in the shadow of Spaghetti Junction. Or perhaps not. For me, the only thing better than residing close to the lapping sounds of the waves would be living in an old, characterful period property a stone’s throw from whitetops and weather-beaten beaches.
Following a quick play around with the 4Homes Property Search, here’s five fab houses that are both within touching distance of a river, estuary or the sea, and come with the prestige (or potential headache) of a Grade II listing. Just click on the photos to see the full listing, complete with more photos and info.
