Positioned on sought-after Old Heath Road, this 1930s semi-detached home blends period character with contemporary living. The open-plan lounge/diner with a front bay window creates a bright family hub, while the modern U-shaped kitchen provides generous worktop space and practical understairs storage. A powered garage and rear off-road parking accessed via a secure gate add useful commuter-friendly storage and parking.
Upstairs are four bedrooms: a principal with a bay window, two further doubles and a single ideal for a nursery or home office. The family bathroom serves the first floor; buyers should note there is only one bathroom for four bedrooms. The property sits on a decent plot with a large lawned rear garden and patio, well suited to family entertaining and outdoor use.
This home is convenient for commuters with Colchester Town Station and direct London Liverpool Street services nearby, and it lies close to several well-regarded schools. Practical positives include freehold tenure, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. External render shows some age and may benefit from maintenance or cosmetic refresh to the façade.
Considerations: the immediate area records higher crime levels than average and the house footprint and overall internal size are modest for four bedrooms (approximately 977 sq ft). Buyers seeking a larger internal footprint should view with measurements in mind. Overall the house offers solid family accommodation with scope to update and adapt to personal taste.
