Bear Estate Agents in Canvey Island

Your Canvey Island Estate Agents - Bear Estate Agents

A different phase in Canvey Island’s life cycle seems to be emerging.

The days of oil storage are going, as did the smugglers and bare knuckle fighting. They are being replaced with an ethos of conservation and appreciation of the varied green spaces available.

Some of the land in the west of the island where the oil refineries stood, is being turned back into a nature reserve. Our local estate agent in Canvey Island recommends a visit to Bumblebee Park, so called to encourage the rare Shrill Carder Bee to the site. The park is located close to the seaside and children from local schools have been creating paving features for the park.

Education is served by 8 primary schools, two secondary schools and there are also 5 Health/GP clinics on the Island. Leisure facilities include a golf course and Waterside Farm Sports complex. This centre is open to the public daily, all year round. Its facilities include a full size swimming pool, sports halls, squash courts and exercise rooms. Outside there is a full size synthetic football pitch and a skate park. Our local estate agent has participated in many football matches there.

Flooding defences on Canvey Island have been updated and improved with a great deal of investment. The sea walls have been raised and there are drainage systems in place to safeguard Canvey against flooding.

As a local estate agent in Canvey, the changes have been noticed. Canvey’s seafront regeneration, its travel links to London and its affordable but varied housing stock, make it an ideal location for those who wish to live outside of the city, but close AND be at the seaside.
