Description

Nestled within a picturesque riverside locale on the Suffolk-Essex border, this property presents a valuable opportunity for renovation enthusiasts. With direct access to the River Stour, the home boasts breathtaking water views and an expansive garden that leads right to the riverbank. This two-bedroom residence is characterized by its charming layout, including a welcoming sitting room with a central fireplace that offers scenic vistas through its large windows. The space allows for potential repurposing as a home office or study area, while the kitchen/conservatory holds promise for modernisation. The first floor reveals two bedrooms with direct river views, though some ceiling damage indicates the need for remedial work, presenting a chance to enhance and customize the living space further. Located near Dedham Vale’s renowned landscapes and cultural offerings, along with convenient transport links to larger towns via Manningtree and Colchester, this property not only embodies tranquility but also significant investment potential.
