Set on a substantial plot of around a quarter acre, this 5-bedroom detached home offers nearly 3,000 sqft of flexible living with scenic outlooks across the King George playing fields towards the river. The house sits in a peaceful position within easy walking distance of the mainline station and Wivenhoe’s attractive quayside, combining countryside tranquillity with convenient commuter links to London.
Accommodation is arranged over two floors and includes four reception rooms, three bathrooms and a double garage, providing comfortable space for a growing family, home working or multi-generational living. The large room count and adaptable layout create clear potential for reconfiguration or improvement to suit modern tastes and needs.
Practical advantages include freehold tenure, no onward chain and proximity to well-regarded local schools and community amenities. The plot and position also present scope for garden enhancement or modest extension subject to planning, while the riverside setting and local events add genuine lifestyle appeal.
Notable considerations: the property sits in an established area and would benefit from updating in places to maximise its full value; broadband and mobile signals are average; ongoing upkeep for a house of this size and plot should be expected. These facts make it a strong option for buyers seeking space, location and long-term potential rather than a turnkey move-in.
