Wivenhoe is a riverside town on the Colne estuary, with a lively quay, a university on its doorstep and a hillside of streets running steeply down to the water.

Homes and staircases in Wivenhoe

Terraced fishermen's cottages and Victorian houses are common, with steep, narrow, often winding staircases. Much of the old town is a conservation area. Homes that look compact from the street can have awkward stair geometry inside.

Local tip: Winding or turned staircases in older Wivenhoe cottages typically need a curved rail. We survey carefully and tell you the lead time before you commit.
