Description

**GUIDE PRICE £475,000-£500,000** CHAIN FREE! Located in the highly sought-after Westlands Estate, just off Straight Road in Colchester, this substantial five-bedroom detached property offers spacious living and a wealth of amenities nearby, making it an ideal family home. Situated on the popular west side of the city, this home is within close proximity to excellent local schools, parks, and a host of shopping and leisure options, including the A12 for easy access to major routes and transport links.

The property itself is an imposing detached residence, featuring a double garage and a well-maintained, low-maintenance garden—perfect for families looking for ample space. The ground floor impresses with a large reception room as you enter, offering a versatile space that could function as a dining room, study, snug, or music room. The heart of the home is a fantastic 25ft lounge, stretching the full length of the house, with ample room for both lounging and dining, creating a warm and welcoming environment for family gatherings. This space flows seamlessly into the rear conservatory, bringing in an abundance of natural light.

The well-equipped kitchen boasts a range of wall and base units with work surfaces over, an integral oven, stainless steel sink/drainer, and space for additional appliances. There is also a variety of cupboards and drawers for storage. A convenient downstairs W/C completes the ground floor.

Upstairs, the property offers five generously-sized bedrooms, including three comfortable double rooms and two single rooms, which are still large enough to act as bedrooms, playrooms, or home offices. The family bathroom is modern and well-appointed, featuring a walk-in shower, low-level W/C, heated towel rail, and a wash hand basin with storage beneath. The bathroom also benefits from obscure double glazing for added privacy.

The large rear garden provides a fantastic space for children and pets to play, while the powered double garage offers further potential for conversion—ideal for a 'man cave', workshop, or additional living space. There are also sheds to remain, providing valuable extra storage.

Externally, the property boasts a driveway offering ample off-road parking, with easy access to the main road and local transport links. Marks Tey Station is just a short drive away, providing fast rail services to London, while bus routes into Colchester’s city centre are just a stone’s throw away.

For those who enjoy outdoor activities, the Westlands Country Park is nearby, offering the perfect setting for dog walks or family outings. The property’s location is ideal for families, with a range of local amenities such as the Stane Retail Park, Tollgate Retail Park, and several parks and leisure facilities all within easy reach.

This impressive home offers everything a family could need, combining generous living space with a prime location on the desirable west side of Colchester. Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate everything this home has to offer.
