Seller’s insight

I have loved every minute living at Mudflats! It was a dream project of mine to take an unloved, dated set of 3 flats and realise its potential and turn it into a striking home on Wivenhoe’s beautiful waterfront. Months and years of blood, sweat and tears went into the refurbishment, but as a reward I feel I created something unique and with views that | still marvel at today. There is nothing better than sitting and watching the boats, gigs and paddle boarders on the river when the sun is shining, with a cup of coffee in hand. I wanted to make a home fit for the 21st century so went the extra mile by installing underfloor heating throughout, which is a real luxury and so nice on your feet in winter! The house is also fully smart home automated, including voice controlled lighting, blinds, heating and smoke detection, which I love. There’s very little road traffic nearby which makes it a peaceful location, but you still get the buzz of walkers and biking and people milling around enjoying the quay front and wet dock area (the side viewing window on the top floor is great for people watching!). The house has the benefit of parking and a sun trap back garden, and a flexible space downstairs which we’ve used as bedrooms for guests, a playroom for our son and an additional home office.
