Description

This two-bedroom detached bungalow, located in a quiet cul-de-sac on the east side of Colchester, presents a promising investment opportunity for those looking to modernize and enhance its appeal. While it currently offers easy access to local amenities, schools, and public transport, it could benefit from a thoughtful renovation to unlock its full potential. The layout includes an entrance hall leading to a spacious lounge/diner and kitchen, two well-sized bedrooms, and a family bathroom. Outside, you will find generous gardens at both the front and rear, complemented by a detached garage and parking space. With some upgrades, this property has the potential to become a desirable home or rental investment in a sought-after area.
