This three-bedroom detached house in Wivenhoe offers a practical family layout with 1,085 sq ft of living space and a private south-west facing garden that captures afternoon and evening sun. The property benefits from off-road parking, a detached single garage and easy walking access to the waterfront, local shops, Wivenhoe train station and nearby schools including Millfields Primary.
Sold with no onward chain and offered freehold, the home is suited to families looking for space close to amenities and good transport links. The accommodation currently includes a lounge, dining room, conservatory, kitchen and a single family bathroom upstairs — compact but functional for everyday family use.
Built in the mid-20th century, the house is sound but shows its age in parts; cosmetic updating and potential kitchen or bathroom improvements are likely to modernise the living spaces. The property has double glazing and gas central heating but an EPC rating of D indicates energy efficiency upgrades could be beneficial.
Practical positives include low local crime, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — helpful for commuting or home working. Buyers should note there is only one bathroom and some updating is needed, but the combination of size, garden, parking and waterside location gives strong family appeal and scope to increase value with modest refurbishment.
