Detached two-bedroom chalet bungalow on a very large plot (approx. 130ft garden)
Set well back from Coggeshall Road, this detached two-bedroom chalet bungalow sits on an unusually large plot (approx. 130ft rear garden) and offers scope for a comfortable, single-level life with additional first-floor bedroom space. The layout includes a sitting room, dining room, kitchen, utility, ground-floor bedroom and shower room, plus a first-floor bedroom and bathroom — useful flexibility for downsizers or those wanting guest space. A long driveway provides parking for several cars and leads to a double-length single garage.
The house dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s and requires modernisation throughout: the kitchen is dated, and general updating is needed to bring living spaces and services up to current standards. The property is sold chain-free on freehold tenure, making it straightforward for buyers who want to renovate and personalise. Broadband availability is excellent (ultrafast up to 1000 Mbps) and the location has easy road links to the A12/A120 and nearby towns such as Halstead and Colchester.
Practical positives include mains gas central heating, double glazing (install date unknown), no reported flood risk and a large, enclosed rear garden with summer house and sheds — ideal for gardening, an extension (subject to consent), or leisure. Material drawbacks are the required renovation, dated 1970s interior fittings, and limited mobile coverage reported by some providers. Council tax is moderate and the area is very affluent with good local schools and day-to-day amenities in Earls Colne.
