West Mersea, Colchester

Boydens are pleased to present this well-appointed, three-bedroom semi-detached family home, situated in a highly sought-after location within easy reach of local amenities and Mersea’s picturesque waterfront. Set on an expansive double-width plot, this property provides ample opportunities for potential extensions (subject to planning permission), along with space for storing a boat for sailing enthusiasts or additional off-road parking.

As you approach the property, you are greeted by a double-glazed front door that opens into a spacious and welcoming hallway, offering immediate access to the heart of the home. The entrance hall, with its inviting staircase leading to the first floor, creates a sense of openness and flow throughout the house. The ground floor comprises a generously sized lounge/diner that is bathed in natural light, courtesy of large front-facing windows and concertina doors that lead into the conservatory.

The lounge/diner is a versatile living space, designed to accommodate both relaxation and entertainment. The focal point of this room is a charming log burner, which not only adds a touch of character but also provides warmth and ambiance during the colder months. This room seamlessly connects to the conservatory, which benefits from tiled flooring and radiator heating, allowing for year-round use. The conservatory, with its expansive glass walls, floods the living area with natural light and offers delightful views of the garden, making it the perfect spot to enjoy a morning coffee or an evening with friends.

The recently renovated kitchen is both modern and highly functional, designed with practicality and style in mind. Offering an abundance of storage, the kitchen features sleek cabinetry, integrated appliances, and the added luxury of a hot water tap and an insinkerator. The layout ensures that the kitchen remains a central hub of the home, whether you're preparing meals for family or entertaining guests.

Moving to the first floor, the property boasts three well-proportioned bedrooms, each providing comfortable living space. The master bedroom is particularly spacious and enjoys ample natural light, while the additional two bedrooms are well-suited to accommodate a growing family or to be used as guest rooms or home offices, depending on your needs. A family bathroom, finished to a high standard, completes the upstairs accommodation, offering a full suite including a bath, shower, and modern fixtures and fittings.

Externally, the property continues to impress. To the side of the home, there is ample off-road parking, making this an ideal choice for homeowners with multiple vehicles or for those requiring space for a boat or caravan. The driveway leads to a single garage that is equipped with power and lighting, providing additional storage or workshop space if desired. The side gate offers convenient access to the rear garden, which, although primarily laid to lawn, presents a blank canvas for landscaping enthusiasts. With plenty of potential, this garden could easily be transformed into a tranquil outdoor space for relaxation and entertainment.

Overall, this property represents an excellent opportunity for those seeking a well-presented family home in a prime location with room for growth. The combination of its spacious layout, modern amenities, and potential for expansion makes it a desirable choice for a range of buyers. Whether you are drawn to the convenience of local amenities, the proximity to Mersea’s waterfront, or the opportunity for additional development, this home offers something for everyone.
