Manor Close, Great Horkesley, Colchester

Boydens are delighted to bring to market this spacious four bedroom bungalow that can be found on a cul-de-sac in the popular village of Great Horkesley. The property was built in 1961 by a local architect who proceeded to enjoy the bungalow until he passed it on to the current family in 1965. Over the following decades the owners have installed double glazing, storage heaters and a car port to the left of the property with secured access to the rear garden. In 2010 the roof was fully covered with a silver-tainted lining which reflects sun and keeps the house a bit cooler on hot days. This rarely available 1960's residence, resides on a good-sized plot with a large garden to the rear, mature trees and an attached garage. The accommodation consists of four double bedrooms, a family bathroom, an open plan living/diner/kitchen, with full length glass windows across the living room area. It would benefit from modernisation and, if this was carried out, it would make a beautiful family home. Externally there is off road parking that leads to a garage and gardens to the front and rear. CHAIN FREE
