Summary - Marlowe Way, Poets Corner, Colchester CO3 4JP
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Large third-acre plot with versatile reception space and easy A12 access.
Third-of-an-acre plot with private rear garden
Set on an impressive third-of-an-acre plot in Poets Corner, this four-bedroom detached house offers substantial living space and excellent garden privacy. The home has three reception rooms, a kitchen/breakfast room with a Quooker tap, air-conditioning in main reception and bedrooms, and a long tandem garage providing extensive covered storage or workshop space.
Internally the layout suits a growing family: a long hallway leads to a bright lounge/diner with sliding doors to a large paved patio and garden, two further ground-floor reception rooms currently used as dining and study space, plus a downstairs cloakroom. Upstairs are four double bedrooms with fitted wardrobes, an en-suite to the principal and a family bathroom. Practical extras include recently installed double glazing, a two-year-old boiler and generous eaves storage.
The property is well located for transport links (easy A12 access and Colchester North Station) and sits within catchment for several highly regarded schools. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, and the EPC rating of C indicates reasonable energy performance. Council Tax is Band F and should be considered in ongoing costs.
The house dates from the late 1960s–1970s and shows some dated features such as textured ceilings, carpets and mid-century fittings; owners should expect cosmetic updating in places. The cloakroom previously contained a shower that has been removed, and the tandem garage, while long, is narrow which limits some uses. Overall this is a substantial, versatile family property with strong potential for modernisation and extension subject to checks.
