Description

A Rare Highwoods Opportunity – Create Your Dream Family Home in a Premier Location

Set in the highly desirable Eastwood Drive, Highwoods, this detached four-bedroom, three-reception family home with conservatory and double garage presents a rare and exciting opportunity for those seeking a substantial property with scope to transform. Homes like this — offering space, potential, and a prime address within the Gilberd School catchment — seldom come to market. In need of full modernisation throughout, it’s a true blank canvas, ready for the next owner to reimagine, refurbish and add real value, creating a bespoke family home in one of Colchester’s most popular residential areas.

The property offers a generous and versatile layout including a porch, entrance hallway, cloakroom, study, lounge, separate dining room, conservatory, kitchen, and utility room. Upstairs you’ll find four good-sized bedrooms, a family bathroom, and an en suite to the master bedroom. Outside, there’s ample parking via a private driveway, a detached double garage, and a private rear garden — all in place, waiting for your vision to bring it to life.

Perfectly positioned for family living, Highwoods boasts the outstanding Gilberd School, a Tesco superstore, regular buses to Colchester City Centre, excellent A12 access, and close proximity to Colchester General Hospital and the beautiful Highwoods Country Park.

Offered with no onward chain and keys available for immediate viewing, this is a genuine opportunity to secure a sizeable detached home in a first-class location and make it your own. Opportunities like this don’t come around often — act quickly or risk missing out.
