2 bedroom terraced house for sale

Set along the historic Oxford Road in Manningtree, this charming two-bedroom Victorian terrace offers character and practicality, tucked-away setting just moments from the heart of town. With its classic red brick façade and welcoming front porch, the home enjoys an elevated position overlooking a leafy embankment where the railway quietly passes by below, creating a surprisingly peaceful and private feel, despite being so well-connected.Stepping through the front porch and into the living room, you're greeted by natural light spilling through the window and softening the space.
