Summary - 72 HIGH STREET WIVENHOE COLCHESTER CO7 9AB
2 bed 1 bath Cottage
Two-bedroom end-terrace with courtyard, minutes from station and waterfront.
Two bedrooms and two reception rooms, traditional layout
Set on Wivenhoe’s popular High Street, this two-bedroom end-terrace offers character, convenience and straightforward potential. The layout includes two reception rooms, a first-floor bathroom and a compact courtyard garden — ideal for low-maintenance outdoor space. With no onward chain the property is ready for a buyer to move in or refurbish to personal taste.
The cottage sits within easy walking distance of the mainline station (regular fast services to London), quayside and local shops, pubs and cafés. At around 715 sq ft the rooms are modest and the house will particularly suit first-time buyers, commuters or downsizers looking for a central town-base with excellent transport links.
Built between 1930–1949 from solid brick, the property retains traditional period features but will benefit from updating. The glazing is double but the install date is unknown and external walls are assumed uninsulated — buyers should budget for potential energy-efficiency improvements. The very small plot and courtyard garden mean limited outdoor space but lower maintenance responsibilities.
This is a straightforward purchase for someone seeking a characterful, centrally located home with improvement upside. Important considerations — modest room sizes, possible insulation and glazing upgrades — are clear and factored into the sensible price point.
