The setting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Coast Inn sits on England’s most easterly inhabited island, facing out across the Blackwater Estuary on Mersea Island in Essex. A well-loved local institution, it draws a loyal year-round crowd and a significant seasonal influx through spring, summer and autumn. When its long-serving owners embarked on a substantial renovation during the pandemic lockdowns, they saw an opportunity to do something properly rather than provisionally, extending the building upwards, sideways and outwards and transforming a previously redundant area at the front into a genuine outdoor dining destination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KT Garden Spaces<\/a> was brought in to handle the external decking element of that transformation.<\/p>\n\n\n
