Beautifully refurbished cottage in Lower Wivenhoe with games room, pet friendly!

A stunning Victorian semi detached cottage set in lower Wivenhoe, recently refurbished to a high standard. This beautiful, family friendly home features a large open plan living/kitchen and dining space, a utility room, cloakroom, two generous bedrooms and a luxurious bathroom. Guests can also enjoy a fabulous family/games room in the garden - which comes complete with board games, table football and a PS4 to keep the whole family entertained on those rainy days.
Wivenhoe’s famous waterfront, a mainline station, glorious walks and the area’s amazing variety of pubs, restaurants, art galleries and shops are all within a very short stroll.
A perfect holiday cottage all year round, dogs very welcome!
