About this home

Occupying a pleasant position overlooking open green space, this deceptively spacious three-bedroom semi-detached home offers well-balanced accommodation in a popular South Colchester location—within easy reach of local amenities, schooling, shops and convenient bus routes into the city centre. The ground floor begins with a welcoming entrance hall leading through to a bright and generously sized dual-aspect living room, complete with patio doors opening onto the rear garden—creating a perfect space for both relaxing and entertaining. The modern kitchen/diner is equally impressive, offering a range of integrated appliances, ample worktop and storage space, and room for additional appliances if required. A ground floor cloakroom adds further practicality. Upstairs, the property continues to deliver with two well-proportioned double bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with its own en-suite shower room. A further single bedroom provides flexibility for a home office or nursery, all complemented by a contemporary family bathroom. Externally, the rear garden has been thoughtfully arranged, featuring a raised decking area ideal for outdoor dining, a neatly kept lawn, and enclosed fencing for privacy. A rear gate leads to off-road parking in front of the garage, which also offers excellent storage or additional parking options. Further on-street parking is available nearby. With its attractive outlook, spacious layout and convenient location, this is a fantastic opportunity for families and buyers seeking a well-rounded home. EPC Rating: C
