Description

Located a short walk to the waterfront at Wivenhoe, conveniently located for local amenities and the train station is this modern and impressive detached bungalow.

Four double bedrooms, two bathrooms, superb open plan kitchen/diner and living room. Benefitting from a good level of off street parking and a purpose built external home office/studio. Solar panels provide great savings on electricity with a transferable tariff.

In the last six years our vendors have transformed what was an old and dated property into an incredible modern home. Lifted out of the 1960s and into the 21st century with the careful selection and use of colours, décor, light and materials. Reconfigured to now be a deceptively spacious and stylish home. The quality of this home is exceptional.
