Description

GUIDE PRICE £400,000-£425,000 Situated on the prestigious and rarely available Sterling Close, this three-bedroom detached bungalow occupies an enviable position within a quiet and friendly cul-de-sac on the highly regarded west side of Colchester. This location is widely recognised as one of the town’s most desirable residential areas, offering a peaceful setting while remaining exceptionally well connected. The west side of Colchester is particularly favoured for its strong sense of community, attractive residential streets and excellent access to a wide range of amenities. Residents benefit from convenient links to the A12, making travel towards London, Ipswich and the wider region straightforward, while Colchester’s mainline railway stations provide direct services to London Liverpool Street. Everyday shopping needs are well catered for, with local parades of shops nearby as well as the popular Tollgate Retail Park offering supermarkets, retail outlets and dining options. The area is also well known for its selection of highly regarded schools, both state and independent, making it an excellent choice for families as well as downsizers seeking a quality location.

Sterling Close itself is a peaceful cul-de-sac made up of similar high-quality homes, where neighbours are known to be welcoming and friendly, contributing to a safe and pleasant living environment. The property benefits from private off-road parking via a driveway in addition to a garage measuring approximately 18’ x 8’, providing secure parking and useful storage. To the rear, the garden is a real highlight, offering a surprisingly generous space that is both low maintenance and exceptionally private. Fully enclosed and not overlooked, it provides an ideal setting for outdoor seating, entertaining or simply enjoying a quiet moment of relaxation.

Internally, the bungalow is notably spacious throughout, beginning with a welcoming and well-proportioned L-shaped entrance hallway that immediately sets the tone for the rest of the home. From here there is access to excellent storage solutions as well as the main family bathroom. The principal living space is the impressive lounge/diner, measuring approximately 22 feet in width, offering ample room for both seating and dining furniture. Large sliding doors open directly onto the rear garden, allowing natural light to flood the room and creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living.

The kitchen is also generously sized and thoughtfully laid out, featuring a good range of cupboards with drawers beneath, plenty of work surface and space for appliances. A cooker and additional white goods can be left if required, making the property ready for immediate occupation. The bungalow continues to impress with its three well-proportioned bedrooms, all offering comfortable and flexible accommodation. The main bedroom benefits from a range of built-in storage that will remain and is complemented by its own en-suite shower room. Bedroom two is a comfortable double and is enhanced by a charming bay-fronted window which allows an abundance of natural light into the space. Bedroom three is also of a generous size and lends itself perfectly to use as a bedroom, guest room or home office, depending on individual needs.

Additional features include side access providing direct entry to the rear garden, further adding to the practicality of the home. Overall, this is a superb opportunity to acquire a spacious and well-maintained detached bungalow in one of Colchester’s most sought-after west side locations, offering a rare combination of generous internal accommodation, private outdoor space and a peaceful yet well-connected setting.
