Description

This extended detached family residence presents a valuable canvas for prospective owners eager to inject their personal touch. Located in a sought-after residential neighborhood, the home boasts a versatile layout that accommodates family living with ease. The entrance hall greets you with a cloakroom, leading into a cozy sitting room, while the kitchen features fitted units along with a breakfast bar and necessary plumbing for modern appliances, allowing for functional everyday use. A direct exit to the garden enhances connectivity to outdoor space.

Notably, the garage has been repurposed into additional living space that can serve as a dining area, home office, or children's playroom, complete with French doors that open to the garden - an ideal setup for entertaining or family activities. On the upper level, three generously sized double bedrooms offer potential for customization alongside a shower room.

The rear garden is designed with minimal upkeep in mind, featuring paved terraces and an additional shed for storage. Frontage includes off-road parking for convenience.

Although the interior would benefit from modernization, this property offers remarkable potential for renovation and personalization to create a bespoke family home tailored to individual preferences. It stands as an exciting opportunity in an area well-connected to Colchester's amenities and transport links.
