About this home

GUIDE PRICE £500,000 - £525,000 A superb four bedroom detached family home occupying an enviable position in North Colchester, offering generous and versatile accommodation, attractive landscaped gardens and excellent access to some of the area's most sought-after amenities and transport links.

The ground floor provides a welcoming entrance hall with attractive herringbone flooring, a convenient cloakroom, spacious lounge, separate home office, impressive kitchen/diner and a fantastic garden room, which was added approximately two years ago. The garden room provides an excellent additional reception space and benefits from air conditioning, providing both cooling in the summer and effective heating during the colder months.

The kitchen/diner forms a fantastic social hub for the home, while the spacious lounge offers a comfortable principal reception room. The separate office is ideal for home working, study or could be adapted to suit individual requirements.

Upstairs are four well-proportioned bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with upgraded en-suite shower room, together with a stylish family bathroom. Both bathrooms have been enhanced by the current owners, including upgraded tiling and powerful showers.

The property also benefits from a particularly large, fully insulated loft, providing excellent storage and potential for further use, subject to the necessary permissions. There is also potential to create a connection between the main house and garage from either the lounge or garden room, offering further scope for those looking to adapt the accommodation in the future.

Outside, the south-facing landscaped rear garden is a particular highlight. Designed with outdoor entertaining and relaxation in mind, the garden features a superb pergola providing welcome shade during warmer weather, established planting and an impressive approximately ten-year-old flowering wisteria.

The garden is beautifully illuminated in the evenings, with integrated lighting around the fencing and pergola, while external power is available by the garage driveway and beneath the pergola. The property also benefits from a side gate with keypad access, an external key safe and additional lighting around the garage.

The garage is complemented by ample driveway parking, while the property is fully alarmed for additional peace of mind.

A further benefit is the extent of the property's outside ownership, with the land to the side extending right through to the end of the garden included within the property. This incorporates the side bushes, pebbled area and brick triangle, creating a generous and private outdoor environment.

The location is exceptionally convenient, with easy access to the A12, Colchester Park & Ride, Gilberd School, Northern Gateway Leisure Complex and Highwoods Country Park. The surrounding area provides an excellent balance of everyday amenities, education, leisure and transport links, making this a particularly appealing location for families and commuters alike.

A beautifully presented and highly versatile detached family home in a prime North Colchester location, offering excellent living space, a superb south-facing garden and significant further potential. Early viewing is strongly advised. Agents note: Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Compliance
