This two-bedroom detached bungalow on Buxton Road is a straightforward, single-level home suited to those seeking easy, low-maintenance living in south Colchester. The layout includes a reception room flowing into a bright conservatory, two well-proportioned bedrooms with inset wardrobes and a tasteful kitchen with space for appliances. A tiled family bathroom serves the property’s compact footprint (approximately 663 sq ft).
Outside offers practical benefits: a private driveway for off-road parking and an enclosed, low-maintenance rear garden with paved patio and gravelled areas — ideal for sitting out without heavy gardening. The property is freehold and being sold chain free, which simplifies a quick move for buyers. Solar panels are visible on the roof, contributing to energy efficiency.
Location is a key selling point for local convenience. The bungalow sits close to shops, bus links to Colchester city centre and a range of everyday amenities. Several primary and secondary schools with Good Ofsted ratings are within easy reach, making the area practical for downsizers who still value access to community services.
Notable drawbacks are factual and important to consider: the home sits in an area classified as more deprived with average local crime levels, broadband speeds are reported slow, and the overall internal space is modest — best suited to singles, couples or those looking to downsize rather than a growing family. No flood risk is recorded. Buyers should expect a traditional bungalow layout and may wish to update finishes to modernise to their taste.
