This two-bedroom detached bungalow on St Johns Road offers single-floor living in a quiet, well-regarded part of Colchester. Set back from the road with generous driveway parking and a single garage, the layout suits downsizers seeking easy access to local shops, bus routes and the A12/A120 links. The rear garden, paved areas and outbuildings provide low-maintenance outdoor space and scope for straightforward improvement.
The property dates from the mid-20th century and retains original fittings, so it will suit a buyer prepared to modernise. It has double glazing, a mains gas boiler with radiators, and a filled cavity wall construction, but the kitchen, bathroom and general decor will need updating to contemporary standards. The bungalow is offered with no onward chain, making it potentially quicker to move into following renovation.
