This recently remodelled detached house offers contemporary family living in Colchester’s popular Prettygate area. The ground floor has an open-plan living and dining space that flows into a large refitted kitchen with a peninsula, integrated appliances and bifold/French doors to a generous rear garden — ideal for family life and entertaining.
The principal bedroom includes a walk-in wardrobe and stylish en-suite; three further bedrooms and a modern family bathroom are arranged on the first floor. Practical additions include a utility room, ground-floor cloakroom, partial loft boarding and an attached single garage with off-street parking for two to three cars.
Notable positives are the recent full refurbishment, mains gas central heating and a large, mainly lawned rear garden on a sizeable plot. Important matters to note: the property’s cavity walls are assumed to have no added insulation, the double glazing appears to pre-date 2002, and the EPC is rated C. These factors may mean further insulation or glazing upgrades are advisable to improve energy efficiency.
Set close to well-regarded primary and secondary schools, local retail parks and good road and rail links to London and Stansted, this house suits growing families looking for a move-in-ready home with scope to personalise and improve energy performance over time.
