Set in the heart of Lower Wivenhoe, this top-floor one-bedroom maisonette occupies a handsome Georgian end-terrace and offers generous living space across two levels. A 17ft sitting room with a working cast-iron fireplace and sash windows gives period character, while the fitted kitchen and courtyard garden add practical everyday charm. The property is presented in beautiful condition throughout and benefits from excellent local amenities and a short walk to Wivenhoe station (circa 75 minutes to London Liverpool Street).
The large loft room extends the accommodation significantly and is currently used as a bedroom, providing flexible space for guests, a home office or storage. Note this loft conversion does not have building regulation sign-off, which may restrict formal bedroom use or mortgage requirements. Heating is electric storage and wall-mounted heaters; the energy performance rating is F and the main fuel is electricity, so running costs are likely higher than gas-heated properties.
Leasehold details are straightforward: 153 years remaining, modest ground rent (£100pa) and a below-average service charge (£230pa). Council tax band B is relatively cheap. This maisonette will suit a first-time buyer or commuter seeking a characterful home near transport links, or an investor wanting a well-presented, manageable town-centre flat—subject to checking the loft’s regulatory status and energy-cost implications.
