About this home
Boydens are pleased to present this extended three-bedroom semi-detached family home, ideally situated within easy reach of a range of local amenities, including Tollgate and Stane Retail Parks, as well as convenient access to the A12.
Since acquiring the property, the current owners have undertaken an extensive programme of refurbishment, including the installation of new windows and doors, updated electrics, and a modern combi boiler (installed in 2023). The home also benefits from a selection of smart features, enhancing both comfort and convenience.
The property is accessed via a double-glazed entrance door leading into a spacious hallway, complete with a practical storage cupboard for coats and shoes. A turning staircase rises to the first floor. To the left, the ground floor bathroom—refitted in 2024—features a contemporary suite with an electric shower.
The generously proportioned lounge enjoys a front aspect and is enhanced by air conditioning and a stylish electric fireplace, creating a welcoming focal point. This space flows seamlessly into the dining room, which overlooks the rear garden and provides access to the recently refitted kitchen. The kitchen offers ample storage, extensive work surfaces, and integrated appliances. With dual-aspect windows and a side door opening onto the garden, the space is bright and well-suited for both everyday living and entertaining, including outdoor dining and barbecues.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom is spacious and benefits from air conditioning and a built-in wardrobe. There are two further well-proportioned bedrooms on this floor.
Externally, the property offers off-road parking to the front. A side gate provides access to the west-facing rear garden, which is predominantly laid to lawn with well-stocked flower bed boarders and features a patio area with an electrically controlled awning, power points, and wooden sheds. The property is located on Parr Drive, to the west of Colchester, and benefits from easy access to the Peartree Road parade of shops, as well as further amenities along London Road. Tollgate and Stane Retail Parks are within a short drive and include a large Sainsbury’s superstore. The A12 is also easily accessible.
The home falls within the catchment area of several highly regarded state schools and is approximately two miles from Colchester North Station, offering direct rail links to Ipswich, Norwich, and London Liverpool Street.
