The Wellie Stern a unique home recapturing history | Apartment in Harwich
4 Bedroom Apartment in Harwich
It is rumoured Nelson spent the night at the Wellie with Lady Hamilton.
We have lovingly restored this little piece of history in this sleepy port right next to authentic, quiet beaches and nature reserves, to become a completely original, eclectic, luxurious, ultra -comfy 4 bedroom property with its own private courtyard. Welcome to the undiscovered east Anglian coast and surrounding unique old England countryside.
Hidden behind a little black gate, you enter The Wellie via the original blue glass cobbled courtyard (this denoted a naval town 200 years ago), which feels somehow Italian with its numerous pots and jasmine. The house is clad in traditional black weatherboard adding to the feeling of leaving the modern world behind.
Once you enter the main space you immediately get how this was once a dancefloor. The double height ceiling, the whole wall of shuttered windows, the cabochon tiles on the floor. Yet there is still a lovely cosy, relaxing atmosphere. We have called it Naval Bohemia. Stripey Ralph Lauren wallpaper, boating memorabilia juxtaposes against sumptuous chesterfields, local found antiques, rugs, a fireplace, a working gramophone, decanters and of course an elegant smart TV.
The kitchen is quirky, a food lovers full working environment- set up like a Captain’s bar and galley with a ship’s wheel light, boating wallpaper, mahogany dresser, gas hob, electric oven, butler sink, dishwasher, clothes washer, marble work-surface and culinary utensils all hung from shaker hooks.
Up the navy and cream painted stairs to the upper floors.
The master and commander bedroom has a magnificent wooden, king sized 4 poster bed. All linen is hotel standard, laundered and pressed by a local laundry. This thoroughly romantic room is wrapped in another Ralph Lauren stripe, but now in eau de nile.
The en suite is playful with its black porcelain toilet, sink and shower set against marble tiles and a rather surprising tap.

The large main bathroom is a homage to the famous lighthouses here in Harwich and Dovercourt. Stormy lighthouse wallpaper, a roll top slipper bath, rococo tiled floor and mahogany heirlooms make this a real bath time fantasy.
The grand steamer bunk room, feels very Phileas Fogg with its 2 x chesterfield, adult sized beds and burgundy tones.
Now up a further gorgeous staircase to the attic rooms…The Blue Room and the Red room.
Both rooms have the same luxurious mattresses and bedding as the first floor plus it feels even more magical and time warpy in these upper rooms.
The Red room has this super- glamourous, over sized, king sized, regal berth (we nearly didn’t get it up the stairs!) -and the Blue room has a 5 star, cabin style, blue velvet chesterfield bed. Both rooms are accented with found local objects and eclectic pieces.
