This Edwardian detached house on King Harold Road offers a spacious, family-friendly layout in the sought-after Prettygate area. The ground floor flows from a bay-front lounge through a dining room into an open-plan kitchen with direct garden access — practical for daily family life and entertaining. Off-street parking for 3–4 cars and a generous rear garden with two patio areas provide outdoor space and storage.
On the first floor are four independent bedrooms; the principal and second bedrooms have fitted wardrobes. The rear bedroom leads to a useful loft room (accessed by ladder) that adds flexible space for storage, hobbies or a child’s den. The house includes both a family bathroom and a separate shower room, easing morning routines for larger households.
Location is a key asset: Prettygate is known for good local schooling, nearby GP and library, local shops and regular bus links into Colchester and to the North Station for rail connections to London. The property is freehold and benefits from double glazing installed after 2002 and gas central heating via a boiler and radiators.
Buyers should note some practical considerations: the property has an EPC rating of D and sits in council tax band E, which may mean higher running costs than newer homes. The loft is accessed via a wooden ladder rather than a fixed staircase, and the home — while well-configured — may benefit from cosmetic updating to suit modern tastes. These points are reflected in the price and present straightforward improvement opportunities for growing families.
