James Parnell Drive, Colchester, CO2 8WR

The short version
A detached three-bedroom detached house of around 860 sq ft, with an en-suite to the main bedroom, an 18ft lounge and a kitchen/diner opening onto the garden. Out front there is a driveway, a carport with an electric roller door and a garage that has been converted into a gym. It is well presented and you could move straight in.

The Property
Step inside and there is an entrance hall with a downstairs WC, before you move through into the main living space.

The lounge measures 15'7 x 18'2, which is bigger than most three-bed houses on the development manage. Plenty of room for two sofas without anything feeling squeezed. From here, stairs lead up to the first floor.

At the back of the house is the kitchen/diner, 15'7 x 10'7, with a good range of fitted units, plenty of worktop space and room for a dining table. French doors open straight onto the garden, so in summer the two spaces run into one.

Upstairs are three bedrooms. The main bedroom (12'1 x 9'5) has its own en-suite shower room. The second (10'1 x 9'7) is a proper double; the third (8'4 x 6'7) works as a child's room, nursery or home office. The family bathroom is off the landing.

The Outside
The rear garden is enclosed and easy to look after: a lawn, a patio for table and chairs, and a summerhouse at the far end that gives you useful extra space outside.

To the front, a driveway provides off-road parking and leads through the carport (14'0 x 9'7), which has an electric roller door. Beyond that is the garage, 18'7 x 8'4, converted into a gym. Keep it as a gym, use it as a workshop or a home office, or put a car back in it; the choice is yours.

The Area
James Parnell Drive is on a modern development to the south of Colchester, close to shops, nurseries and primary schools, with regular buses into the city centre. Friday Woods is a short walk for dog walks and running, and Mersea Island is around 15 minutes by car. Colchester station and the A12 are both within easy reach for commuting.
