A spacious detached bungalow on Mersea Road offering more than 1,700 sq ft of single‑storey living on a very large plot. The layout includes two reception rooms, a contemporary kitchen with island, dining room, three bedrooms, a principal bedroom larger than typical for a bungalow, a dedicated home office and two bathrooms — a flexible plan suited to families, downsizers seeking level access, or buyers wanting a low-rise home with room to extend (subject to planning).
Outside there is a long paved driveway, substantial forecourt parking and a detached garage (approx. 29’11” x 9’7”) that provides workshop or storage potential. The large rear garden offers private outdoor space for children, entertaining or future landscaping projects. The property’s position close to Colchester city centre and local schools suits commuters and families wanting easy access to amenities and transport links.
Practical points to note: the house dates from the early 20th century and has cavity walls assumed without insulation; the current EPC sits in the mid D band (67) with indicated potential to improve to a B with upgrades. Heating is mains gas via boiler and radiators. Council tax band is above average. These factors mean buyers should budget for energy-efficiency improvements and ongoing maintenance to fully modernise the property if desired.
Overall this is a rare, level-access detached bungalow with generous proportions and a large plot. It suits buyers seeking immediate comfortable accommodation with scope to personalise and improve energy performance, or those who value extensive outdoor space and off‑street parking in a well‑connected Colchester location.
