Description

This bay-fronted three-bedroom detached residence presents an excellent opportunity for buyers looking to undertake a comprehensive renovation. The property features two spacious reception rooms, a kitchen, and three bedrooms on the upper floor along with a family bathroom. However, it requires extensive refurbishment, including critical structural repairs to the roof and front elevation, as well as a complete interior overhaul. Set within its own generous plot, the home benefits from both front and rear gardens, the latter extending approximately 80ft and featuring a decking area that leads to a water ditch at the boundary. Off-road parking is available at the rear. Notably, there is vehicular access to the garden via a side right of way that must remain clear for pedestrian traffic related to a nearby school. The location boasts convenience with local amenities in proximity and easy access to attractive waterfront areas that include recreational facilities like a swimming pool and sailing club. Additionally, transportation links are robust with regular bus services connecting to nearby villages and Colchester City Centre. With no onward chain, this property is ideal for those prepared to invest time and resources into restoring it to its full potential.
