Seller's insight For many years, we lived on the outskirts of Colchester - and truth be told, we never really took to it. Our children went to school in Wivenhoe, and I had been coming here for donkey's years. We always loved the town: Its charm, its community spirit, and its peaceful atmosphere. But moving here seemed out of reach; Wivenhoe has always been a sought-after area, and property prices reflected that.

Then, by sheer luck, a friend of mine - who lived in Wivenhoe - offered me first refusal on their home. In 2002, we came to view it. Entering through the side gate, we stepped into the utility room, through to the dining area with its view over the garden, and into the kitchen. We didn't even bother to see the rest of the house before deciding it was the one for us.

It's a property full of character, and once inside, it feels like a tardis - far bigger than you'd expect. When we got home afterwards, I even asked my wife, "Was it a three-bedroom or four-bedroom?" We honestly didn't know - we just knew we loved it. And we've never regretted that decision.

A year after moving in, we added an in-ground swimming pool and landscaped the garden, creating a quiet oasis that's perfect for relaxing or entertaining. The people in Wivenhoe have always been warm, friendly, and polite - it's a place far superior to Colchester in every way, and our love for it has never faded.

Now, with the children grown and leading their own lives, it's time for this house to welcome another family. We're sure the next owners will enjoy many happy years here, just as we have.
