South-facing garden and easy access to Colchester centre and rail links.
Extended open-plan kitchen/dining/living with skylights and patio doors
Situated in the popular St Mary’s area of Colchester, this extended four-bedroom detached home offers spacious family living with practical commuter links. A substantial rear extension creates a bright open-plan kitchen/dining/living area with skylights and patio doors that open onto a south-facing garden — ideal for everyday family life and entertaining. The fitted kitchen includes marble worktops and a breakfast bar; an air-conditioning unit adds comfort in warmer months. EPC rating C and mains gas heating via boiler and radiators offer reasonable running costs for a property of this size.
The accommodation includes two double bedrooms, two single bedrooms and a fully tiled family bathroom. Ground-floor living is flexible with a generous lounge featuring a front bay window, plus a downstairs cloakroom and good storage. Off-street parking and an integral single garage provide practical vehicle space, and side access leads to the tiered rear garden with patio, lawn and shed. Total internal area is about 1,285 sq ft — comfortably sized for families wanting separate reception space and a large open-plan heart to the home.
Buyers should note a few material points: there is a single bathroom for four bedrooms, council tax is above average, and the area records higher-than-average crime levels. The front drive and garden would benefit from some landscaping to maximise kerb appeal. Overall the house is well-presented with double glazing and solid construction dating from the late 20th century, offering a ready-to-live-in family home with scope to personalise and improve value further.
