Summary - 37 PURVIS WAY HIGHWOODS COLCHESTER CO4 9FN
4 bed 3 bath Detached
Versatile three floor layout near excellent schools and fast rail links.
Four / five flexible bedrooms across three floors
This four/five-bedroom detached house offers flexible family accommodation over three floors, including two reception rooms, a conservatory and three bathrooms. The layout suits a growing family, with an en-suite principal bedroom, additional second-floor bedrooms or home office space, and a decent rear garden with gated driveway, car port and garage providing off-road parking for 2–3 vehicles.
The location is a strong practical selling point: near The Gilberd School, several well-regarded primary schools, Colchester General Hospital and Colchester North station with services to London. Mains services are connected and the property is freehold, on an average-sized overall footprint with a larger-than-average rear plot.
Buyers should note material issues plainly: the kitchen shows signs of damp and mould and will need modernization, some second-floor rooms have restricted head height, and the jacuzzi bath in the upstairs en-suite has not been tested. The property requires general updating throughout rather than being turnkey.
Practical negatives to consider include an above-average local crime rate and a higher council tax band (E). These factors are balanced by strong transport links, good nearby schooling and the home’s scope for improvement and value uplift with refurbishment.
