Latest house prices for Wix, Manningtree

Wix sits in the flat, open landscape of the Tendring Hundred, positioned neatly between the riverside town of Manningtree and the busy port of Harwich. It is a linear village, clustered mainly along Colchester Road, and retains the quiet, unhurried character of an agricultural community despite its proximity to the A120. Historically, the village grew around a 12th-century Augustinian nunnery, and while the priory is long gone, its legacy remains at St Mary’s Church, which notably features a detached timber bell cage in the graveyard - one of only a handful in the country. Life here revolves around the central crossroads, home to the local primary school, the village hall, and the Waggon & Horses pub. It’s a practical spot for those who work in the nearby towns but prefer the outlook of big Essex skies and easy access to the network of quiet footpaths that cut through the surrounding farmland.
