Situated in the charming village of Wivenhoe, Essex, this 300-year-old dock workers cottage offers a delightful retreat for up to three guests. Nestled within a conservation area just a stone's throw from the quayside, the cottage combines historical charm with modern convenience. Its location provides easy access to London, Colchester, Essex University, and the seaside, all within a short distance thanks to nearby trains, buses, and ferries. Wivenhoe itself is a surprisingly vibrant community, boasting a variety of cafes, pubs, and restaurants, along with a lively arts and music scene that enhances its quaint atmosphere.
The cottage features a comfortable living room equipped with a real fire, perfect for cozy evenings during colder months, with some fuel available for a small charge. The well-equipped kitchen includes essential appliances such as a gas cooker, microwave, fridge, toaster, and kettle, making meal preparation a breeze. A conservatory extends from the kitchen, leading to an enclosed rear garden that offers seating areas, ideal for relaxation in warmer weather. The garden is also suitable for small children and pets, enhancing the cottage's family-friendly appeal.
On the upper floor, guests will find a double bedroom alongside a small single bedroom, which features a 2'6'' bed suitable for a child or an adult for a short stay. However, it's important to note that the small bedroom lacks substantial clothing storage, offering only a hook and a small bedside cabinet. The bathroom is equipped with an enclosed shower, toilet, and basin, ensuring convenience for guests. Additionally, gas central heating throughout the cottage provides comfort during chilly nights.
As the owner resides just three miles away, guests can easily access local knowledge and recommendations for entertainment and attractions. This includes insights into the local music scene for those interested in cultural experiences. The cottage is meticulously cleaned with antibacterial solutions between stays, ensuring a hygienic environment for visitors. The surrounding natural beauty can be appreciated at nearby High Woods Country Park and Abberton Reservoir, while cultural highlights include Hollytrees Museum and The Minories Galleries. Families can explore attractions such as the Colchester Natural History Museum and Tenpin Bowling Colchester, or engage in outdoor activities like sailing, fishing, ecotours, and cycling.
