Beautifully updated and presented in true move-in condition, this attractive three-bedroom period home combines traditional character with contemporary living, offering an impressive amount of versatile space both inside and out.
Behind its charming red-brick frontage, the property has been thoughtfully modernised throughout to create a bright, welcoming home. The accommodation includes a spacious sitting room, separate dining room and contemporary fitted kitchen, alongside three well-proportioned bedrooms. The layout works particularly well for both everyday family life and entertaining, with the kitchen opening directly onto a covered terrace, creating a fantastic additional space for outdoor dining and relaxing throughout much of the year.
A particular highlight of the property is the generous and established rear garden. Offering several distinct areas for entertaining, relaxing and gardening, it provides a wonderful extension of the living space. At the far end is a fully operational detached garden office with its own private seating area, providing an ideal environment for home working, a studio or creative space away from the main house.
Adding further potential, the property also benefits from planning permission approved by the council for an extension incorporating an additional bathroom and utility area, giving the next owner the opportunity to enhance the accommodation even further.
The property is well positioned within Old Heath, an established and popular residential area of Colchester, offering convenient access to local amenities, schools, green spaces and transport connections into the city centre and surrounding areas.
For buyers looking for a beautifully presented period home requiring no immediate modernisation, yet offering character, generous accommodation, an excellent rear garden, covered entertaining space, a dedicated home office and exciting potential for further extension, Old Heath Road represents an exceptionally versatile and appealing home.
