The house is designed to have four bedrooms, but we have made two into studies, and one of these will be locked up, so there are actually two bedrooms available for the stay, plus one study (which also has a single bed, for guests). There is a large garden planted with flowers, shrubs and trees, where there is a resident cat (who sleeps in the shed). Downstairs there is a lounge, dining room, kitchen-garden room, music room, toilet and hallway. The bedrooms have beautiful views over farmland and the Colne Estuary. There are lovely walks from over the countryside to woodland and the water. Wivenhoe is an arty, friendly community with cafes, galleries, a bookshop, delicatessan and other stores, and is well connected by road and public transport. It has often been voted one of the best places to live in Essex.

Comments: Our home is in the beautiful (small) town of Wivenhoe, on the Colne Estuary, with a lovely view over the countryside. It is a few minutes walk to a bus to Essex University, or 15 minutes to the railway station with commuter trains to London. walk
Comments: Gas and electricity are not included, but other charges are (television licence, wifi, gardening and window cleaning, council tax, etc). We have a garden-based cat who adopted us some time ago and would like to be fed (shared with neighbour).
Comments: Windyridge is in a quiet location on a farm road. It is a traditional home in a lovely spot.
Daily feeding of Mia, the garden cat, would be very helpful
Pot plants inside the house will need watering.
Comments: A relative will come and pick up our mail every few weeks.
