This attractive Victorian semi-detached cottage blends period character with recent modernisation, presenting a comfortable two-bedroom home in central Wivenhoe. High ceilings, picture rails and a fireplace with log burner retain original charm, while a recently fitted kitchen, new bathroom, wet room and updated heating add everyday convenience.
Arranged over two floors, the layout delivers two reception rooms, a utility, and two first-floor bedrooms with the main bathroom upstairs and an additional ground-floor wet room—useful for guests or accessibility needs. The rear garden includes a summer house and is low-maintenance; off-street parking at the front is a practical bonus in this central location.
Location is a strong selling point: short walk to Wivenhoe train station with fast links to London, nearby university facilities, local shops and highly rated primary schools. The property is freehold, double glazed and has mains gas central heating, making it ready to move into for families or professionals seeking a town-centre base.
Buyers should note the plot is small and the house offers average-sized rooms for its footprint. Cavity walls are assumed to have no added insulation, which could affect energy performance and may be a consideration for further improvement works. Overall, the home represents a period property with immediate usability and sensible scope for enhancement.
