Description

This beautifully presented family home resides on one of Colchester’s most sought-after roads, offering direct access to both the A12 and the North Station and walking distance to many private and public schools of high regard. This spacious residence has undergone a complete transformation during the current vendors ownership. A porch opens into a hallway with stairs to the first floor, a cloakroom and a lounge with a log-burner and front aspects. A ground floor extension provides a contemporary Bespoke kitchen/dining area with vast glass windows, French doors and Velux’s which flood this area with an abundance of natural light creating the perfect space for the family to relax or to entertain. This opens into a versatile living space which could easily be a cinema room or a playroom. A door from here leads into a utility room with access into the covered passageway, ideal for boots and shoes after walks across the nearby Hilly Fields.
Upstairs, a further extension across the garage and downstairs allows for four roomy double bedrooms. A modern en-suite with a double shower and marble effect tiling adjoins the master. There is also a recently refurbished family bathroom.
The alterations and building works have all been carried out to a high standard, the fitting and décor throughout reflects this.
Externally, a recently paved driveway offers off road parking for a minimum of two cars and leads to a single garage. A side gate affords access to the rear garden which is mainly laid to lawn with a large patio area and an ornate pond.

Another patio provides a sunny spot for later in the evening and a wooden shed offers useful storage for every gardener’s needs.
Sanders Drive has long been considered as one of Colchester’s most desirable roads. From here the town and Crouch Street's shopping parade are within easy reach. A choice of excellent schooling facilities, including The Girls High School, Royal Grammar, Oxford House, St Mary's and the Sixth Form College can also be easily accessed. Colchester's North Station is also less than a mile away and, from here, London's Liverpool Street can be reached within fifty minutes. The property also enjoys excellent access to the A12 southbound at Junction 27, and north and southbound at Junction 26.
