Description

OVERVIEW ***GUIDE PRICE £350,000 TO £375,000***
A bright, well laid out home offering a modern kitchen, spacious lounge, and sun filled conservatory, alongside two well proportioned bedrooms and a stylish bathroom. Outside, the generous private garden with patio, garden room, and driveway parking completes this inviting and versatile property. 

STEP INSIDE The entrance hall guides you naturally into the heart of the property, which was fully refurbished in 2021, including new flooring throughout, a new kitchen and bathroom, updated sockets and lighting, a new boiler and new radiators, ensuring the home feels modern, efficient, and well cared for.

At the centre of the home is a contemporary kitchen measuring 10'0" x 12'0" (3.05m x 3.65m), ready for everyday cooking and entertaining. With its gas hob, electric oven, and clean, modern finishes, it's a practical and stylish space that feels instantly welcoming.
From here, the layout flows into the generous lounge, 17'0" x 12'1" (5.18m x 3.68m), a bright and comfortable room ideal for relaxing or hosting. Double doors open into the conservatory, 12'2" x 8'5" (3.71m x 2.56m), where natural light pours in and garden views create a peaceful extension of the living space-perfect as a dining area or hobby room.
The property offers two well-proportioned bedrooms. Bedroom 1, measuring 13'0" x 12'0" (3.96m x 3.65m), provides ample room for larger furniture, while Bedroom 2, 9'11" x 9'11" (3.02m x 3.02m), is equally versatile and well suited as a guest room, home office, or cosy second bedroom.

A stylish, well-appointed bathroom completes the interior, featuring modern fittings that reflect the home's recent upgrades and add to its overall sense of comfort and quality.

Altogether, this property offers a smooth, intuitive layout with bright living spaces, contemporary improvements, and the reassurance of recent refurbishment-an inviting home ready for its next chapter. 

STEP OUTSIDE A spacious, well kept garden featuring a large patio ideal for entertaining, opening onto a generous lawn. The garden includes a greenhouse, shed, and garden room, providing excellent versatility and storage, and is fully enclosed for privacy with new fence panels. To the front, the property also benefits from a private driveway offering parking for several vehicles. 

THE LOCATION Cottage Drive is situated in a quiet, established residential area of Colchester, offering a pleasant suburban setting. The location benefits from easy access to local shops, schools, and green spaces, while Colchester city centre is within convenient reach. Good transport links nearby provide connections to the A12 and local rail services, making it well placed for commuters.

About John Alexander, Essex

1 Church Road, Tiptree, Colchetser, CO5 0LG
Industry affiliations:

Established in 2006, John Alexander Estate Agents has stood out as a property company that goes beyond the norm. Our focus is on delivering exceptional customer service and world-class marketing, but our core emphasis lies in fostering meaningful relationships – be it with our valued clients or our dedicated staff.

We pride ourselves on continuously pushing boundaries and setting industry standards. Understanding that the manner in which we conduct our work holds greater significance than the sheer volume of it, we prioritise quality over quantity. Rooted in a genuine commitment to people, we consider ourselves a people-centric company that happens to specialise in property dealings, and we are confident that we excel in this domain better than anyone else.

A significant milestone for John Alexander Estate Agents occurred in December 2023 with the completion of the rebrand of Jackson & CO Property Sales. This strategic move involved merging Jackson & CO Property Sales with the existing John Alexander – Tiptree office. With the rebranding completed, John Alexander Estate Agents will now be operating under two distinct offices: John Alexander – Colchester and John Alexander – Tiptree. This expansion is indicative of our dedication to serving a broader client base and reaching new markets.

Throughout our evolution and expansion, John Alexander Estate Agents maintains a customer-centric approach. This involves placing a strong emphasis on understanding and meeting the needs of clients. Whether assisting in property transactions or managing rental properties, we prioritise transparency, effective communication, and delivering results that exceed client expectations.

We are always able to offer very competitive FEES for our services, and are happy to provide a FREE Valuation

and/or Rental Assessment, at your convenience.
