The location is particularly convenient for family life, being within walking distance of Wix & Wrabness Pre-School, while Manningtree and its mainline railway station are approximately a 5 to 10-minute drive away, providing direct rail connections towards London Liverpool Street.

Lounge – 16' 4" x 12' 3" (4.98m x 3.73m)

A generously proportioned main reception room with a double-glazed window overlooking the front of the property.

French doors connect the lounge with the separate dining room, allowing the two reception spaces to work particularly well together when entertaining while still retaining the option of two individual rooms. Radiator.

Dining room – 12' 3" x 9' (3.73m x 2.74m)

Importantly, at 15' 8" x 12' 3", the room provides ample space for a breakfast table and chairs without compromising the main kitchen workspace, creating a sociable everyday hub for the household. An understairs cupboard supplies further useful storage.
