This well-presented detached bungalow on Gainsborough Road offers comfortable single-storey living in a sought-after Colchester suburb. The layout includes three double bedrooms, two reception rooms (one a conservatory with garden access), a fitted kitchen and a bathroom plus separate WC — all arranged across an average-sized 974 sq ft floorplate. A newly installed boiler (2024), double glazing and a boarded loft with ladder add practical convenience for immediate occupation.
The south-facing, low-maintenance rear garden and generous plot give excellent outdoor space for relaxing or entertaining. Off-street parking for 2–3 cars, plus a single garage and outbuildings, provide useful storage and vehicle space. Good transport links, nearby parks and a range of well-rated schools make the location especially suitable for families and downsizers seeking easy access to local amenities.
Practical details to note: the property has an EPC D and falls in council tax band D. The home was built in the late 1970s–early 1980s with cavity walls (partial insulation assumed) and the date of the double glazing installation is unknown. There is scope to extend on the sizable plot, subject to usual consents, which will appeal to buyers wanting to add value or adapt the home.
Overall this bungalow combines ready-to-live-in condition with future potential. It will suit buyers looking for single-floor living in a comfortable neighbourhood, but anyone seeking a fully modernised specification should note some dated interior features and the EPC rating when considering long-term running costs.
