Chain-free three-bed bungalow with large gardens and development potential.
Detached three-bedroom bungalow on a large corner plot
Located on a prominent corner plot in sought-after Great Horkesley, this three-bedroom detached bungalow offers single-storey living with versatile accommodation. The attractive bay-window lounge, fitted kitchen and three bedrooms suit a couple, small family or downsizer wanting ground-floor convenience. The property is offered chain-free for a swift move.
The plot is a standout: two separate gardens provide privacy and scope for landscaping, and there is off-street parking for one vehicle. There is a notable purchasing option — the vendors may retain the rear plot for potential development while selling the bungalow with the front right-hand garden only. The current asking price reflects purchase of the full freehold; buyers should factor this unusual arrangement into their plans.
Internally the layout is practical but shows signs of period wear. The home uses wall-mounted electric storage heaters throughout, and the kitchen appliances are dated. With around 754 sq ft of accommodation and a single shower room, the bungalow will suit those seeking low-maintenance single-storey living rather than larger-family space. There is clear scope to modernise and reconfigure (for example combining two rooms into a larger dining/living arrangement) to add value.
Connectivity, schools and local amenities are genuine strengths: easy access to the A12, Colchester North station, nearby schools and the Northern Gateway leisure and retail facilities. The area is very affluent with low crime and no flooding risk, making this a sensible buy for downsizers, savvy investors eyeing plot potential, or owner-occupiers wanting a convenient village base close to Colchester.
