At the back, a separate kitchen opens into a conservatory that overlooks the garden—a serene spot perfect for relaxation and entertaining. Additionally, there is a convenient downstairs WC. On the upper level, you'll find three generously sized double bedrooms accessed from a central landing, alongside a family bathroom awaiting modernization. While some refurbishment is needed to restore its original charm, period features throughout ensure that it retains character and appeal. The exterior welcomes you with its traditional aesthetics, contributing to curb appeal in this desirable location. The rear garden offers privacy and potential for landscaping or outdoor seating—ideal for creating your own tranquil retreat. In close proximity to Wivenhoe Station with direct trains to London Liverpool Street as well as being surrounded by local amenities such as independent shops and eateries, this property holds much promise for those willing to invest in renovations and creative updates.
