This well-presented five-bedroom detached house sits on a large plot in a prime North Colchester location, just off Welshwood Park Road. The home delivers generous family accommodation across multiple levels, including a 24ft lounge, modern kitchen/breakfast room with bi-fold doors, separate utility and one en suite. Double garage, large driveway parking and an EV charging point add strong practical value for modern family life.
Position is a clear strength: excellent access to Colchester General Hospital, North Station (mainline to London), the A12 and Highwoods Country Park. The property falls within catchment for highly regarded secondary schools and several good primary schools nearby, making it straightforward for school runs and commuting. The private, well-maintained rear garden with patio creates seamless indoor–outdoor living for summer entertaining.
Practical considerations include a council tax band described as quite expensive and relatively slow broadband speeds locally — relevant if you work from home or rely on fast connectivity. The EPC rating is D, so there may be scope and cost to improve energy efficiency. The house was constructed in the late 1970s–early 1980s and benefits from double glazing installed after 2002; buyers should budget for routine maintenance and any modernisation they may want.
Overall, this is a spacious, family-focused home in a very affluent, low-crime area with excellent transport links. It will appeal to buyers seeking size, parking and garden space close to schools and amenities, while those prioritising top-level energy efficiency or ultra-fast broadband should factor potential upgrade costs into their plans.
