Turnkey four-bedroom home with big garden and garage in a friendly village.
Fully renovated and extended period cottage, turnkey condition
This freshly renovated four-bedroom semi-detached cottage sits in the sought-after village of Colne Engaine, offering a well-presented home for family life. The ground floor is an open-plan social hub with a fitted kitchen, island and large lounge, plus a snug, utility and cloakroom. Upstairs provides four bedrooms, a family bathroom and an en-suite to the principal room.
The plot is a standout: a private front garden, larger rear lawn with patio and pergola, plus off-street parking and a rear garage. Broadband is reported fast, crime is low and the village has a highly rated primary school, shop and active community — practical benefits for family living.
Buyers should note some practical points: the cottage is compact at about 636 sq ft overall, constructed with solid brick walls likely without cavity insulation, and the main fuel is electricity with electric boiler/radiators. Although recently renovated to a high standard, buyers wanting maximum energy efficiency or more internal space may need to budget for insulation upgrades or further extension (subject to planning).
Overall this freehold cottage offers turnkey charm and village living on a generous plot. It will suit families or buyers seeking a well-presented period home with scope to improve energy performance or extend, while enjoying strong local amenities and good transport links to Colchester and beyond.
