Summary - 5 THISTLEDOWN, COLCHESTER, COLCHESTER CO4 9UH
3 bed 1 bath Detached Bungalow
Single‑storey family living with garage and large garden, sold via Modern Auction.
Detached three-bedroom bungalow on a large plot with rear garden
A spacious detached three-bedroom bungalow set on a large plot in a quiet Highwoods cul-de-sac, offered with no onward chain. The single‑storey layout suits families who want ground‑floor living or buyers planning a long‑term layout reconfiguration. The living room opens to the rear garden via sliding doors, and the master bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes and an en‑suite shower. A separate shower room serves the other bedrooms.
Practical features include an integral garage with power and lighting, off‑street driveway parking and a kitchen/dining room with side access to the garden. The property dates from the early 1990s, has cavity walls and pre‑2002 double glazing, mains gas central heating and fast broadband — useful for home working. Local amenities include good primary/secondary schools, Highwoods Country Park, Colchester General Hospital and straightforward access to the A12/A120.
Important points: the sale is by Modern Auction — buyers must sign a reservation agreement and pay a non‑refundable reservation fee (4.5% of the purchase price, subject to a minimum) plus buyer’s administration costs. The property previously suffered root‑induced clay shrinkage (subsidence); remedial works were completed in 2024 and a certificate of structural adequacy was issued. Prospective purchasers should check the Buyer Information Pack, confirm exact auction costs, and commission their own surveys and legal enquiries.
This bungalow offers comfortable single‑storey living on a generous plot with potential to update and personalise. It will suit families wanting easy, level living near schools and green space, or downsizers seeking a roomy detached home with parking and garden.
