Set in a quiet cul-de-sac in Monkwick, this extended four-bedroom semi-detached home offers flexible family living across two floors. The ground floor layout includes a spacious lounge, large dining room, fitted kitchen and a versatile downstairs bedroom or home office — useful for multi-generational arrangements or remote working.
Upstairs has three further bedrooms and a family bathroom; two of the bedrooms are smaller in size, so the layout suits a family seeking practicality rather than large master suites. The rear garden is a decent size for children and pets, and there is ample off-street parking for several vehicles.
Constructed around the 1930s–1940s, the property has double glazing (installation date not specified) and gas central heating via boiler and radiators. Practical buyers should note the house sits in a generally deprived area with above-average local crime statistics; these factors have influenced pricing and may affect insurance and future valuation.
This home will suit growing families prioritising school proximity and outside space, or buyers looking for a reasonably priced, flexible house to update over time. It is offered freehold with straightforward access to local shops, good-rated primary schools and Colchester town centre transport links.
