Chain-free three-bedroom semi with garden, garage and excellent school links — scope to modernise.
Chain free — available with no onward chain
Set in the sought-after Prettygate area, this three-bedroom semi-detached home offers practical family living and clear scope to add value. Presented chain free, the house combines well-proportioned rooms with a generous rear garden, driveway and single garage — all useful for everyday families or buyers planning improvements.
The ground floor features a bright living room opening to a dining area with sliding doors to the garden, plus an extended kitchen with side access to the driveway. A wide entrance hall with storage and a convenient downstairs WC adds day-to-day practicality. Upstairs are two double bedrooms with built-in wardrobes, a good single room and a family bathroom off the landing.
Outside there’s a private, enclosed lawned garden with mature trees and rear access into the garage, while the front provides ample off-street parking. The property benefits from double glazing, mains gas central heating, fast broadband and very low local crime — helpful for commuters and families. Local schools are highly regarded and regular transport links serve Colchester and surrounding areas.
Buyers should note the interior shows some mid-20th-century fittings and wear, so updating will be required to modernise finishes. There is only one family bathroom. The house dates from the 1980s and, while structurally typical for its era, any extension or major alterations would be subject to planning and building regulations. Overall this is a solid, well-located family home with clear potential for improvement and investment.
