Summary - 7-9, WEST STREET, COLCHESTER, WIVENHOE CO7 9DE
3 bed 1 bath End of Terrace
Period charm within steps of the quay and mainline station.
Three bedrooms with open-plan living/dining room and garden room
Set a short walk from Wivenhoe Quay and the mainline station, this painted timber-clad end-terrace cottage offers genuine period character and excellent transport links to Colchester and London. The house has three bedrooms, an open-plan living/dining room, a kitchen/breakfast room, garden room and a private rear garden — a rare combination so close to the waterfront.
The property is offered with no onward chain and presents clear scope for improvement: it requires full modernisation throughout, so buyers can personalise finishes and reconfigure spaces to suit contemporary living. The generous living/dining area, separate garden room and overall room count provide strong potential for creating a bright, flexible family home or a desirable rental in a highly sought-after town fringe location.
Practical considerations are straightforward: the plot is small, there is a single first-floor bathroom plus a ground-floor WC, and the cottage footprint is average for town-centre housing. Flooding risk is very low, broadband and mobile signals are strong, and the surrounding area is affluent with good local schools and amenities.
This house will appeal to buyers seeking proximity to the waterfront and station, and to those comfortable taking on a renovation to unlock value. Viewings will suit buyers who prioritise location and character over turnkey condition.
