High-spec five-bedroom family home with open-plan kitchen and smart tech in Prettygate.
Five double bedrooms, principal suite with walk-in wardrobe
This well-presented five-bedroom detached house in Prettygate, Colchester, combines generous family living with high-spec modern upgrades. The heart of the home is a large open-plan kitchen/dining area fitted with quartz worktops, a 6-zone NEFF induction hob, twin NEFF hide-and-slide ovens and Origin bi-fold doors that open to the garden — ideal for family entertaining and indoor-outdoor living.
The property benefits from a bright dual-aspect living room, a dedicated home office, utility room and an integrated garage with remote-controlled door. High-quality finishes include a new Solidor front door, new windows and doors, new flooring throughout and premium bathrooms with Aqualisa digital showers and LED sensor mirrors. Smart-home systems (Philips Hue, Nest thermostat, Ring doorbell, CAT7, Swann 4K CCTV) add convenience, energy control and security.
Practical points to note: the house was constructed in the 1967–75 era with cavity walls assumed uninsulated, council tax is above average, and there are only two family bathrooms for five bedrooms. The area has average crime and mobile signal levels but benefits from fast broadband, good local schools and easy access to Colchester city centre and the A12.
Offered with a guide price of £800,000–£850,000, this detached home suits growing families or buyers seeking turnkey accommodation with modern technology and flexible living space on a large plot in a comfortable suburb.
