5 bed detached house for sale

De Vere Lane, Wivenhoe, Colchester CO7

Sitting proudly in an enviable position over looking the King George playing fields down to the river and railway station is this substantial individually bult home of some 3000 Sqft with flexible accommodation over two floors and lots of potential from its generous plot approaching 0.25 of an Acre. Offered with no onward chain and within a short stroll to the mainline station with fast links to London Liverpool street in just over the hour and the wonderful quayside and waterfront within easy reach also. At the heart of Lower Wivenhoe is its scenic quayside which offers stunning views across the Colne Estuary, the waterfront is dotted with pubs, cafes, and galleries, making it a pleasant place for a stroll or to watch the boats bobbing in the harbour. The local sailing club and marina contribute to a strong nautical spirit that continues to define the area which sits close to several nature reserves and walking trails, including the Wivenhoe Trail, which follows the river to Colchester. The area is a haven for birdwatchers and walkers, with salt marshes and estuary habitats nearby, though small, the town maintains a strong community ethos with events like the Wivenhoe Regatta, art trails, and farmers markets that celebrate both local talent and traditional roots. Its blend of village life, artistic vibrancy, and riverside tranquillity makes it a hidden gem on the Essex coast and its no wonder the Sunday Times has previously named it the best place to live in the East of England.
