The kitchen is presents ample work surfaces, modern cabinetry, and smart tiled splashbacks, as well as all the essential fittings for contemporary living—including a gas hob, electric oven, and space for both a dishwasher and washing machine.

Upstairs, the home offers three well-sized bedrooms, the second and third with carpets that were fitted less than eight months ago.

The second bedroom, with its south-facing window, is bathed in sunlight, making it an ideal guest room or workspace. The third bedroom, also facing the rear, features a tucked-away gas combi boiler—installed in early 2022—ensuring efficient central heating throughout.

The rear garden is the perfect oasis for those who love spending time outdoors. With its sunny south-facing aspect, it benefits from long hours of daylight and borders a series of allotments behind, providing a sense of extended space and privacy. There is ample lawn, mature flower beds, and an existing shed that’s ideal for storage or future gardening projects. Secure gated access to the side of the home ensures ease and privacy.

The front garden, retained by a classic red brick wall, features a charming tiled path leading to the front entrance and a central flower border, adding to the home's curb appeal.

Situated within walking distance to Colchester’s bustling city center, the iconic Colchester Castle, and St. Botolphs train station, this home offers superb convenience.
