This well-presented two-bedroom semi-detached house on Penguin Parade offers a compact, move-in-ready home ideal for first-time buyers, downsizers or investors. The ground floor has a bright, spacious living room, a practical kitchen/diner and downstairs cloakroom; upstairs are two bedrooms, one with an en-suite, plus a family bathroom. A private rear garden provides outdoor space for relaxing or small-scale entertaining, while a block-paved driveway offers convenient off-street parking for two vehicles.
Set in a popular, well-connected area of Stanway, the property is within easy reach of local shops, good primary and secondary schools, and mainline stations at Colchester Town and Marks Tey. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, supporting home working and everyday connectivity. The house sits in a modern development of similar homes and benefits from an economical gas boiler and radiator heating system.
Practical considerations: the plot is small and the exterior presents a compact, suburban aspect with neighbouring houses close by. The property is average in overall size (around 709 sq ft), so larger families may find space limited. Crime levels are average for the area. The home is freehold with affordable council tax and no identified flood risk, which should suit purchasers seeking straightforward ownership and low immediate maintenance concerns.
Overall this is a sensible, low-maintenance option for buyers seeking a modern starter home or a rental investment in a very affluent, well-served part of Stanway. Its condition and location reduce immediate renovation needs, but the modest plot and compact internal footprint mean buyers should expect a practical rather than spacious lifestyle.
