Summary - Penguin Parade, Stanway, Colchester CO3 8BU
2 bed 2 bath Semi-Detached
Compact, modern semi with garden and driveway — ideal for first-time buyers or investors.
Two double bedrooms with en-suite to master
This tidy two-bedroom semi-detached home is a compact, well-presented option for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. The ground floor offers a bright lounge, a modern kitchen/diner with integrated appliances and doors out to an enclosed rear garden, plus a practical downstairs cloakroom. Upstairs there are two double bedrooms, the principal with an en-suite shower, and a contemporary family bathroom.
Outside, the property benefits from a private, medium-sized rear garden with patio and a bespoke wooden bar area, and a block-paved driveway providing off-street parking for one car. The house sits in a pleasant residential development within easy reach of local shops, supermarkets, schools and fast road links (A12) — convenient for commuting to Colchester, Chelmsford or London.
Practical positives include freehold tenure, no recorded flood risk, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband speeds. The footprint is modest (approx. 480 sq ft) and room sizes are compact, so the house will suit buyers seeking a low-maintenance, economical home or an investor targeting rental demand rather than larger-family living.
Notable considerations: the property is small and offers limited parking (single off-street space), so buyers needing more living or garage/storage space should expect to remodel or extend subject to permissions. The immediate neighbourhood is described as an ageing local area within a wider very-affluent district; recorded crime levels are average. Early viewing is recommended to appreciate the layout and garden in person.
