Summary - 3 HAREBELL CLOSE HIGHWOODS COLCHESTER CO4 9RX
5 bed 2 bath Detached
Generous family home with double garage and private garden in a sought-after cul-de-sac.
- Five bedrooms including large room above the garage (flexible use)
Set at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac off Eastwood Drive, this five-bedroom detached house offers practical family living with useful outbuildings and strong parking provision. The house has a well-equipped high-gloss kitchen, separate living and dining rooms, and a sizeable double garage with first-floor accommodation above — ideal for conversion or home office use. The rear garden is private and lawned with a paved patio and a summer house for outdoor relaxation.
The layout suits growing families: ground-floor reception rooms lead directly to the garden, while bedrooms and two shower/bathrooms (one en-suite) occupy the upper levels. A fifth bedroom above the garage provides flexible space for guests, teenagers or a hobby room. The property is freehold, heated by a mains-gas boiler and radiators, and sits in a comfortable, well-served suburb with several 'Good' and 'Outstanding' schools nearby and easy access to the A12/A120.
Important practical points are stated up front. The property previously experienced root-induced clay subsidence; remedial works were completed in 2025 under insurance and a certificate of structural adequacy has been issued. Prospective buyers should confirm details via their surveyor and conveyancer. Interiors show a largely serviceable finish but would benefit from selective updating to maximise value. Council tax is above average and local recorded crime rates are higher than average for the area, which may concern some buyers.
Overall this is a spacious, well-located family home with scope for modernisation and potential to add value by reconfiguring the garage/first-floor space. It will suit buyers seeking generous accommodation near schools and green space, who are comfortable managing the previously remedied subsidence history and budgeting for updating where desired.
