Move straight into this well-presented two-bedroom semi-detached house tucked in a popular Colchester neighbourhood. The ground floor offers an open-plan lounge/diner leading to a private rear garden, a contemporary kitchen and a convenient downstairs WC — a practical layout for first-time buyers or young couples. The main bedroom includes an en-suite, with a separate family bathroom for guests or children.
Energy efficiency is a clear benefit: fitted solar panels reduce electricity costs, and the property has insulated loft space for useful storage. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal suit remote working and modern family life. Off-street parking includes a single garage plus an additional space, easing day-to-day parking in a built-up area.
Be realistic about scale and location. The internal rooms and plot are modest in size and best suited to those seeking low-maintenance living rather than large family accommodation. Local crime levels are higher than average; buyers should consider security measures. The property is freehold with a below-average service charge of £258 and generally affordable council tax, making it economical to run.
