Summary - 17, HARDINGS CLOSE CO6 3RD
3 bed 1 bath End of Terrace
End-of-cul-de-sac three-bed with low running costs and enclosed garden.
A-rated EPC with solar panels, air-source heat pump, battery storage
A charming three-bedroom end-of-terrace tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in Aldham, ideal for a small family seeking rural living with modern running costs. The house benefits from significant energy upgrades — solar panels, an air-source heat pump and battery storage — which underpin an A-rated EPC and can materially reduce bills and sell surplus power back to the grid.
Internally the layout is traditional and practical: entrance hall, study/playroom, sitting/dining room with doors onto an enclosed rear garden, and a well-equipped kitchen. Upstairs are two double bedrooms with fitted wardrobes, a good single bedroom and a family bathroom. The property is average in overall size (about 860 sq ft) with medium-sized rooms and generous natural light from large windows.
Notable considerations are straightforward: the main heating system runs from an oil boiler alongside the heat pump, the house is constructed in the mid-20th century with timber-frame walls and only partial insulation, and the plot and garden are small. There is a single family bathroom and modest storage, so buyers wanting more space may need to reconfigure or extend (subject to consents).
Location is peaceful and semi-rural with very low crime and fast broadband; Colchester is around five miles away with good commuter links via Marks Tey station. Freehold tenure and affordable council tax help keep running costs reasonable. Overall this home offers eco-friendly running costs and village calm, balanced by modest plot size and some retrofit/insulation considerations for buyers who prioritise fabric energy performance.
