This extended four-bedroom detached house in Aldham offers spacious family living in a quiet village setting. The ground floor provides flexible living with a dual-aspect living room, a generous kitchen/breakfast room, a formal dining room and a practical downstairs shower room — useful for busy household routines. Upstairs are four well-proportioned bedrooms and a single family bathroom, suitable for families needing extra space or flexible rooms for home working.
Practical benefits include ample off-road parking, a single garage and a private enclosed rear garden that creates a safe outdoor play area or space for gardening. Broadband speeds are reported fast and mobile signal excellent, and the area records very low crime, adding day-to-day convenience and peace of mind. The property is offered with no onward chain, which can speed up a move.
There are some straightforward issues to note: the house dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s and the main heating is oil-fired with a boiler and radiators, which may mean higher running costs compared with mains gas. The external walls are cavity-built with no presumed added insulation, so buyers should factor potential energy-efficiency improvements and insulation work into budgets. Internally the home is average-sized overall and, while well laid out, would benefit from updating in places to meet modern standards.
Local schools are a mix: nearby primaries include one rated Good and others with lower ratings, while secondary provision locally is Good. The village location offers countryside living with village amenities and bus links into Colchester. For families seeking a roomy detached home in a sought-after West Colchester village — with parking, a garage and a private garden — this property presents solid potential, particularly for buyers willing to modernise heating and insulation.
