Summary - MEADWAY, COLCHESTER ROAD CO7 9EU
2 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Generous garden and parking in a charming riverside town, ready to modernise.
Freehold two-bedroom semi-detached, approx. 712 sq ft
A well-located two-bedroom semi-detached home in Wivenhoe offering straightforward, practical accommodation and genuine scope to add value. The house sits on a typical mid‑20th century suburban plot with a generous rear garden and off‑street parking — useful for families, first‑time buyers, or investors wanting a low-maintenance base with upgrade potential.
Internally the layout is sensible and well-proportioned for the size (around 712 sq ft). Heating is mains gas via a boiler and radiators, and the windows are double glazed (install date unknown). The location is a strong selling point: riverside walks, independent shops, a mainline rail link to London and highly regarded local schools are all within easy reach.
The property does require modernisation in places: the interior shows dated finishes such as wood panelling and older fittings, and external timber cladding and the carport may need attention or minor repairs. Cavity walls appear to have been built without insulation (assumed), so buyers should budget for potential energy-efficiency improvements.
Overall this freehold semi presents a sensible purchase for someone seeking a modest, affordable home in a popular village setting — either move in and update over time or refurbish for rental or resale. Flood risk is low, broadband and mobile signals are strong, and council tax is affordable, which helps running costs.
