About us:

We purchased no 72 in October 2013 after falling in love with Wivenhoe and the surrounding area. The fabulous riverside location, vibrant community, history and culture of the village was a big pull, as well as the great commute into London.

Attraction to this beautiful family home was instant, with its wealth of original features, beautiful garden and unique character. We hope you enjoy your stay as much as our family love living here!

We have a little aged cat called Gia, whom will require cuddles (although she is very shy) and feeding during your stay (all cat food supplied)!
