Summary - 74, Ernest Road, Wivenhoe, COLCHESTER CO7 9LQ
3 bed 1 bath Detached Bungalow
Single-storey home on a generous plot with garage and extension potential.
Three bedrooms and two reception rooms in single-storey accommodation
Set on a generous plot in Wivenhoe, this three-bedroom detached bungalow offers straightforward single-level living with immediate scope to add value. The property includes off-road parking, a garage and established front and rear gardens, making it well suited to downsizers, small families or buyers seeking a renovation project.
Internally the layout provides two reception rooms, a kitchen/diner and a utility area within approximately 1,037 sq ft. The house is traditional mid‑20th century brick construction with gas central heating, good natural light and fitted wardrobes in the principal bedrooms. There is no onward chain, which can simplify timescales for a buyer prepared to proceed quickly.
The bungalow requires renovation throughout: the kitchen dates from the 1970s and will need modernising, and the property will benefit from a full internal update to realise its potential. There is also potential to extend to the side or rear (subject to planning), unlock additional space and improve resale value.
Practical points: the home is freehold, in a low-crime area with excellent mobile signal and fast broadband. Flood risk is low. Buyers should arrange a full survey to verify condition and costs associated with refurbishment and any extension plans.
