1 bed semi-detached house to rent

The Quay, Wivenhoe, Colchester CO7

Property Reference: 2611336.

Step back in time at the historic 1837 Ferryman's Cottage, perched right on Wivenhoe Quay beside the River Colne.

This rare riverside retreat comes with its own jetty, boats, and seating right on the water — the perfect place to sip morning coffee or watch the sun sink over the countryside across the river.

Inside, the magnificent main bedroom offers a vaulted and beamed ceiling, river mural, sweeping views of the river and fields beyond, with a spacious walk-in closet for comfort and convenience.

The chef's kitchen is a dream, featuring a large smeg fridge, a boat-themed quartz countertop, a boiling water Quooker tap, Range Master cooker, an additional steam oven, and everything you might need. There's plenty of space to prep meals while gazing out at sailboats gliding by.

The cosy living room invites you to curl up by the electric fireplace, stream your favourite shows on the TV, or simply enjoy the ever-changing light across the river. Original paintings and sculptures bring artistic character throughout, while workspaces with a view make it easy to write, read, or catch up on projects. French doors open onto a balcony with direct access down to the private jetty.

With Wivenhoe's charming pubs, cafes, and village walks just steps away, Ferryman's Cottage offers a one-of-a-kind blend of history, comfort, and riverside magic.

Please note - Ferry House is only available from 1st October 2025 to 31st March 2026.
