Description

This spacious four-bedroom detached home, built in 1999 by reputable local builders, is situated at the end of a tranquil cul-de-sac in north Colchester. The property presents a great opportunity for renovations, particularly in creating an open-plan kitchen/diner by merging the kitchen and dining room to suit contemporary living. With no onward chain, this residence offers both a family-friendly layout and investment potential. The ground floor features an inviting entrance hallway that leads to a cloakroom, fitted kitchen, and a generous lounge with garden views. Upstairs, the accommodation includes four well-proportioned bedrooms; the principal suite benefits from its own en suite shower room, complemented by a family bathroom for the other bedrooms. Outside, there's ample parking space provided by a substantial driveway leading to a detached double garage. The rear garden offers a private retreat with lawned areas and patio spaces, ideal for families and entertaining guests. Located near quality schooling and everyday amenities, this property is ripe for renovation to enhance its appeal further.
