Colchester Road, Halstead

Dating back to 1890, we are delighted to present Armoury Cottage. Originally built with a single-story side extension serving as an armoury, this space was historically used to store rifles and was rented to the War Office as a yearly tenant.

Over the years, the property has been thoughtfully extended and transformed into a beautifully presented three-bedroom semi-detached family home with off-road parking. This is a rare opportunity to own a home that combines modern living with fascinating historical significance.

Offering over 1,450 sq. ft. of flexible living space, this well-designed semi detached property combines comfort and practicality, making it an ideal home for families or those seeking extra room to grow.

On the ground floor, a welcoming porch opens into a central hallway that leads to the heart of the home – a generous lounge/diner measuring 22’4” x 11’7”. This bright, open space is perfect for family living and entertaining, with direct access to the garden. The adjoining kitchen/diner offers plenty of room for cooking and casual meals, complemented by a separate utility room for added convenience.

Two additional reception rooms on this level provide superb versatility, functioning equally well as bedrooms, home offices or playrooms, depending on your lifestyle needs. A ground floor W.C. and useful storage cupboards complete the accommodation on this level.

Upstairs, the property features two well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom is a spacious double, while the second benefits from built-in storage. Both are served by a modern family bathroom with bath and shower facilities.

With its adaptable layout, this property offers up to four bedrooms alongside generous living spaces, making it perfectly suited for growing families or multi-generational living.

Outside the property has a pleasant and private rear garden starting with a spacious patio area and the rest predominantly laid to lawn. To the front there is a driveway providing off street parking.
