Set in the sought-after village of Colne Engaine, this four-bedroom detached home offers comfortable family living across a practical two-storey layout. The bright lounge and adjoining conservatory provide generous reception space with direct garden access, while a long kitchen and separate study add everyday convenience. The property is presented in good decorative order and ready to move into.
Outside, a wide block-paved driveway leads to a single garage and provides ample off-street parking. The rear garden has a patio and lawn with mature planting, offering a pleasant, private outdoor area for children and pets. Fast broadband, mains gas central heating and a low-crime, affluent neighbourhood suit those seeking a stable village lifestyle with good transport links to Colchester and Stansted.
Practical considerations: the house dates from the late 1970s/early 1980s and, while well maintained, retains period features that some buyers may wish to modernise. There is a single family bathroom and a cloakroom only, which could be limiting for larger families. Prospective buyers are advised to commission their own surveys and service checks, particularly if planning significant alterations or extensions.
Overall this freehold property will appeal to families who value village community, good local schools and straightforward, spacious accommodation with scope to update to personal taste. It is an attractive option for anyone wanting a ready-to-live-in home with potential to add value through sympathetic modernisation.
