Description

This property is set back from the road, providing a sense of privacy and ample off-road parking. It features a double garage and a generous outdoor office or games room, all nestled within mature gardens that enhance its attractive setting. Recent approval for planning, under Colchester reference 230184, paves the way for a potential rear extension and modifications to the garage, presenting an excellent opportunity for future investment. Internally, the ground floor layout facilitates both casual family living and entertaining. The entrance hall welcomes you into a bright kitchen equipped with ample work surfaces and storage solutions, overlooking the garden. A separate utility room offers additional workspace with direct access outside. Adjacent to the kitchen is a dining room enjoying views of the garden, alongside a main living room that’s spacious and filled with natural light due to wide doors leading into a conservatory—perfect for year-round relaxation. A dedicated study area adds functionality to the ground floor, while a cloakroom provides convenience near the entrance. Upstairs are four well-sized bedrooms arranged around a central landing. The main bedroom benefits from an ensuite shower room and pleasant views over the front garden. The other bedrooms offer flexible space suitable for family use or home offices as needed. A family bathroom completes this level. The exterior features expansive grounds offering plenty of private outdoor space, complemented by a gravelled driveway leading to the double garage. The backyard boasts an impressive lawn bordered by mature trees and established planting—ideal for enjoying outdoor activities or entertaining guests on the paved terrace directly behind the house. Furthermore, there’s a large detached outbuilding providing versatile possibilities as an office or studio.
