Well-presented and modern, this four-bedroom semi-detached house offers practical family living in south Colchester. Built post-2012, the home benefits from double glazing, gas central heating with boiler and radiators, and a boarded loft for useful storage. The ground floor flows from a generous kitchen with space for dining to a bright living room with patio doors opening onto a low-maintenance rear garden — an easy layout for everyday family life.
The first floor provides two good-sized double bedrooms and two smaller bedrooms suitable for children, guests or a home office. Outside, off-street parking for two vehicles and side access to the garden add convenience. EPC currently around C with possible improvement to B, and broadband speeds are fast — sensible for remote working and modern connectivity needs.
Be transparent about constraints: the plot is small with a modest front garden and communal parking courtyard that limits kerb appeal. The area scores as deprived with above-average crime statistics and a high council tax band; these factors may concern some buyers. The house is freehold and structurally typical of recent suburban builds, but buyers seeking large private gardens or quiet rural settings may prefer elsewhere.
This property is a practical, low-maintenance choice for first-time buyers or young families who prioritise space, connectivity and move-in readiness over a large plot. With room to personalise and straightforward upkeep, it also suits buyers looking for a sensible long-term home or a rental investment in a well-connected part of Colchester.
