A Stylish Three-Bedroom Home in Colchester
Welcome to your future home- a charming three-bedroom end-of-terrace property in the vibrant city of Colchester, perfectly positioned to cater to the needs of modern living. Nestled in the desirable CO2 area (walking distance to the city and to St. Botolph’s train station), this Edwardian gem beautifully balances timeless character with modern conveniences. Whether you’re looking for spacious living, outdoor tranquility, or close proximity to the city, this property ticks all the boxes for an aspiring family or young professional couple taking their first steps onto the property ladder.
Upon entering the home, you're greeted by a spacious and airy open-plan living and dining room, seamlessly stretching from the front to the back of the house. Featuring oak-effect laminate flooring and abundant natural light (Southerly aspect), this versatile space is perfect for cosy evenings in or entertaining friends. Unlike many similar homes, the cleverly repositioned staircase at the side opens up the space, creating a practical and aesthetically pleasing layout.
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. Dual windows and LED lighting make the space bright and welcoming, while a door leads out to the inviting south-facing garden, providing a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor living.
The generously proportioned family bathroom has been fully updated with travertine tiles and features a spacious walk-in shower, a classic panel bath, and a WC - all illuminated with natural light from a south-facing window. It’s a space designed for relaxation after a long day.
Upstairs, the home offers three well-sized bedrooms, the second and third with carpets that were fitted less than eight months ago. The principal bedroom, located at the front of the property, showcases a bold color palette complemented by elegant white skirting, creating a bright and characterful retreat.
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. Local schools are just a short walk away, including the highly-regarded St. George's Primary School, Old Heath Community Primary, and The Thomas Lord Audley School.
