Description

This Victorian cottage, located in the heart of Wivenhoe near the River Colne and the bustling High Street, presents an ideal opportunity for renovation. Offering three bedrooms and over 1,100 sq. ft. of living space, this timber-clad home is brimming with character and potential for a creative touch.

At the rear, the separate kitchen leads to a conservatory that overlooks a private garden—a perfect spot for relaxation or entertaining. Upstairs, you'll find three generously sized double bedrooms and a family bathroom accessed from a central landing.
