Set on a large plot in a quiet Colchester street, this three-bedroom semi-detached house offers spacious family living plus a self-contained annex and lodge — ideal for extended family or rental income. The main house is well presented with a large kitchen/diner, cosy lounge and three good-sized bedrooms, all arranged over two storeys. The property is freehold and benefits from fast broadband, very low local crime and good mobile signal.
The rear garden houses a separate annex with living area, bedroom and en suite, plus an additional lodge. A double-length garage with driveway provides generous off-street parking and useful storage or workshop space. The home was built c.1950–66, has cavity walls and gas central heating via boiler and radiators, making it comfortable year-round.
Notable practical points: the property has only one family bathroom in the main house and the double glazing appears to have been installed before 2002, so window upgrades may be needed in time. The build era means buyers should expect mid‑20th‑century construction details rather than new-build finishes. Council tax is moderate and there is no flood risk.
This house will suit families seeking generous living and outdoor space near good primary and secondary schools, or investors wanting a main house with separate rental accommodation. Viewing will show the scale and flexibility on offer; buyers should factor potential updating of windows and the single main bathroom into their plans.
