Description

Boydens are delighted to present this well-appointed two-bedroom detached bungalow, situated in the highly sought-after waterfront village of Wivenhoe. Perfectly positioned within walking distance of the train station and nearby woodland, this home combines convenience with charm.

The property is entered via a double-glazed side door, opening into a spacious hallway with access to all rooms. The dual-aspect lounge is filled with natural light and features a focal fireplace, creating a warm and inviting space for cooler evenings.

The current owners have thoughtfully reconfigured the layout to provide a modern kitchen/diner, complete with ample storage, generous work surfaces, and French doors leading onto the west-facing rear garden. The adjoining master bedroom also enjoys a rear aspect, offering a peaceful outlook.
The bathroom has been tastefully modernised, now featuring a walk-in double shower and contemporary white suite. The second bedroom, currently used as an art studio, benefits from a front aspect and includes a vanity unit.

Externally, the property offers off-road parking for two vehicles, while a side gate provides access to the attractive rear garden. Well-stocked borders, a patio area, and a pergola with a flourishing grapevine create an idyllic outdoor setting, all enhanced by its desirable west-facing orientation.
