3 bedroom detached house for sale

RARELY AVAILABLE & OFFERED WITH NO UPWARD CHAIN

'Waveney' enjoys a unique and stunning position backing onto a secluded spur of the River Lee, a true haven for swans, ducks and wildlife with the added benefit of mooring and fishing rights literally at the end of the garden. This charming, individual and slightly quirky detached residence has been in the same family for a number of decades and retains many of the original 1930's features, offering the incoming purchaser the opportunity to improve, extend or develop the existing property to create a stunning family home in a wonderful and private riverside location, subject of course to the necessary approvals.

It is evident why so many families choose to live in Broxbourne, the town has so much to offer including a busy high street shopping parade, excellent schooling facilities and within short walking distance a fast and frequent train service to the city. The Lee Valley nature reserve is on the doorstep providing a wealth of sporting and leisure activities.

A project like 'Waveney' rarely comes to market, and for those purchasers seeking the opportunity to own a property with enormous potential, in a convenient and striking setting, will not fail to be impressed by what this home has to offer.
