Description

Situated within the highly sought-after Prettygate district of West Colchester, this attractive four bedroom detached family home enjoys a convenient position close to The Commons shopping parade, offering a range of everyday amenities including a Co-operative store, cafés, salons, medical facilities, and a popular local pub. The area is also well served by regular bus routes providing easy access to Colchester city centre and mainline station, while a selection of reputable primary and secondary schools are within easy reach.

The property is approached via a driveway providing off-road parking alongside access to the garage, with the home itself presenting an appealing gable-fronted exterior. Internally, the entrance hall leads through to a spacious and stylish reception room featuring herringbone flooring and glazed internal doors opening into the dining room, where patio doors provide direct access to the rear garden. The shaker-style kitchen is well-appointed with tiled splashbacks and ample space for appliances, further complemented by a separate utility room and convenient ground floor cloakroom. There is also internal access to the garage.

To the first floor, the property offers four generously sized bedrooms, including a principal bedroom benefitting from an en-suite shower room. A modern family bathroom serves the remaining accommodation, while the interior throughout has been tastefully decorated in neutral tones.

Externally, the rear garden has been thoughtfully landscaped to create a private and enclosed outdoor space, featuring a central lawn, block-paved seating area, raised decking, and a garden shed. Panel fencing encloses the garden, with gated side access leading back to the front of the property. Palmer & Partners would recommend an early internal viewing to avoid disappointment. EPC: D
