Infantry Terrace, Military Road, Colchester, CO1 2FQ

A smart, spacious two-bedroom home that gets the important things right – generous rooms, a proper garden, parking and a location that puts the city within easy reach. The accommodation extends to around 844 sq. ft., with a particularly good-sized sitting room opening straight onto the garden, a separate kitchen, two impressive bedrooms and both upstairs and downstairs facilities. Add allocated parking at the rear and this is a home that works just as well for first-time buyers as it does for anyone wanting something conveniently placed for the city.

The Property Set behind a low brick wall, the house has an attractive traditional red-brick exterior, while inside the layout is practical, well proportioned and noticeably more spacious than you might expect. The entrance hall provides plenty of room to arrive without immediately stepping into the main living space, with the kitchen positioned to the front. Finished with a range of light-coloured units and contrasting worktops, there's good preparation and storage space alongside room for the everyday appliances. The sitting room occupies the rear of the house and is undoubtedly one of its strengths. It's a generous room with ample space to create distinct sitting, dining and even home-working areas without compromising on comfort. French doors bring in plenty of natural light and provide a direct connection with the garden – particularly welcome through the warmer months. A ground-floor cloakroom completes the downstairs accommodation. Upstairs, the proportions continue to impress. The main bedroom is an excellent size, with two windows providing plenty of natural light. The second bedroom is another generous room, currently comfortably accommodating two beds and additional furniture, making it far more useful than the token second bedroom sometimes found in modern homes. The family bathroom is also on this floor, fitted with a bath and shower over, wash basin and WC.

The Outside French doors from the sitting room open onto an enclosed rear garden, giving the house a valuable extension of its living space. There's a paved area immediately outside the house for seating or dining, with the remainder predominantly laid to lawn and established planting around the boundaries. A timber shed provides useful storage, while gated access leads out towards the rear. Allocated parking is positioned behind the property – a definite advantage this close to the centre of Colchester.

The Area Infantry Terrace sits just off Military Road, putting much of central Colchester within easy reach without needing the car. Colchester Town railway station is around half a mile away, while the city centre offers the usual mix of shops, restaurants, cafés and leisure facilities. Streetlist.co.uk Everyday amenities are particularly convenient, with supermarkets, local shops and bus stops nearby. Families are also well placed for a choice of schooling, with St George's School among the closest primary options. Streetlist.co.uk For buyers commuting further afield, Colchester's mainline station is also accessible, with services towards London Liverpool Street, while the location provides straightforward access out towards the wider road network.
