Set in a popular Wivenhoe location within the Millfields Primary catchment, this three-bedroom semi presents practical family living with clear commuter appeal. The layout centres on a generous 17ft lounge, a separate dining area with bi-fold doors to the garden, and a well-equipped kitchen. A driveway, single garage and a lawned rear garden with a fully insulated studio/log cabin add useful external space for hobbies or home working.
The house is freehold, gas centrally heated and double glazed, with an Energy Rating of C and affordable council tax (Band C). Local amenities, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal make day-to-day life straightforward, while the nearby train station provides direct links to London (around 75 minutes).
Buyers should note the property’s modest overall size (approximately 794 sq ft) and single bathroom, which may feel tight for larger families. The solid cavity walls were built without added insulation (assumed), so there is scope and potential savings from upgrading insulation. The gas combination boiler and central heating have not been tested by the reporting party and would benefit from a professional service or inspection.
This is a tidy, mid-century home offering immediate liveability and clear scope to personalise or improve energy performance. It will suit first-time buyers moving up, young families prioritising schools and commuting, or buyers seeking an easy-to-maintain house with useful outbuilding space.
