Single-storey living with garage, parking and renovation potential.
Detached two-bedroom bungalow on a decent plot
Set on a decent plot in Prettygate, this detached two-bedroom bungalow offers single-level living with clear scope to personalise. The layout includes a generous living room, two double bedrooms, a separate kitchen, family bathroom and an additional WC — practical for downsizers or buyers seeking flexible ground-floor accommodation. A detached garage and wide driveway provide strong parking and storage options, useful for hobbyists or potential garage conversion (subject to planning).
The property is freehold, about 767 sq ft (approx. 71 m²), and sits within easy reach of local shops, cafés, good primary and secondary schools and Colchester city centre. Broadband speeds are fast, mobile signal average, and there is no flooding risk. The EPC is shown as D; improving insulation and modernising services would raise comfort and value.
The bungalow needs renovation throughout: dated 1970s interior finishes, patterned carpets, and an aging kitchen and bathroom. These are honest drawbacks but also create an opportunity to refit to current tastes and improve energy performance. Council Tax is moderate (Band D). This is a straightforward project for buyers wanting a single-storey home in a comfortable suburban neighbourhood with good transport links to the A12.
