Description

This charming three-bedroom detached house presents a valuable opportunity for renovation and investment, situated in a convenient location that benefits from local amenities and schools. With no onward chain, the property offers immediate potential for those looking to personalize or enhance its features. Upon entering, you are welcomed into an entrance hall that includes built-in storage and stairs leading to the first floor. The generous sitting/dining room features a York stone fireplace and patio doors that open into a conservatory, providing a bright space that could be reimagined as part of an updated living area. The kitchen is equipped with fitted wall units and cupboards, along with a door leading to the side of the property, allowing for potential expansion or reconfiguration. Upstairs, the landing offers access to loft space, while the three bedrooms provide functional sleeping quarters—two of which include wardrobes. The existing wet room is equipped with essential fixtures including a shower, wash basin, WC, and partial tiling; however, it presents an opportunity for modernization. Externally, the front garden boasts a lawn area along with a driveway that provides access to a semi-integral garage featuring an up-and-over door. The rear garden is primarily laid to lawn and bordered by mature hedges for privacy; it also includes a garden shed and established trees, offering scope for landscaping or outdoor enhancements. Located within easy reach of local shops and schooling options, the home is well-positioned for families or investors seeking rental opportunities. Commuters will appreciate the proximity to Colchester's mainline railway station and access to the city center's diverse shopping and recreational venues. Overall, this property stands out as an excellent investment prospect with significant potential for personalization in a desirable location.
