Substantial garden and versatile living near schools and transport.
Five double bedrooms across three floors
Set on about one-third of an acre, this beautifully presented five-bedroom detached home offers flexible family living across three floors. Ground-floor accommodation includes four reception rooms—a dual-aspect sitting room, a dedicated study, a family/dining room and a conservatory that opens onto a substantial, secluded rear garden. The kitchen/breakfast room features shaker-style units, granite worktops, integrated appliances, plus a utility room and cloakroom for everyday practicality. A large garage and wide driveway provide abundant parking.
The first floor hosts four double bedrooms with an en-suite to the principal bedroom and a family bathroom. A fifth double bedroom and a separate shower room occupy the second floor, ideal for guests, teenagers or a home office. Gas central heating with boiler and radiators and double glazing fitted after 2002 deliver comfortable year-round living. Broadband is fast (up to 100 Mbps) and mobile signal is excellent, supporting modern working and schooling needs.
Notable facts and considerations: the house dates from the 1930s and retains period character, but cavity walls are likely uninsulated (assumed) and the EPC is rated D. Council Tax sits in band D. The property is in a very low flood-risk area with very low local crime and sits within good school catchments, with easy access to the A12 and Colchester North Station for commuting. Overall this home offers substantial indoor and outdoor space and strong potential for further energy improvements or cosmetic changes to personalise.
