Sundal Place, Colchester Road, Ardleigh, Colchester, CO7

Offering excellent scope for modernisation, this spacious three-bedroom semi-detached home occupies an established position in the popular village of Ardleigh. The property features generous open-plan living and dining accommodation, a good-sized kitchen, established rear garden, extensive off-road parking and an unusually substantial detached garage, all within convenient reach of Manningtree and Colchester.

Situated within the popular village of Ardleigh, Sundal Place is a spacious three-bedroom semi-detached home offering an excellent opportunity for a purchaser looking to modernise and create a home.

The property requires updating throughout, but its generous accommodation, established plot and extensive outside space provide plenty to work with. Of particular note are the substantial living and dining areas, three first-floor bedrooms, extensive driveway parking and a detached garage measuring approximately 25'9" in length.

The accommodation is approached through an entrance area opening into the principal reception space. The ground floor provides two interconnected living areas, together creating an impressive amount of reception space and offering considerable flexibility for separate sitting and dining areas. A fireplace forms a focal point within the main living room, while the adjoining area provides ample room for a substantial dining table.

Beyond is a good-sized kitchen measuring approximately 11'9" x 10'8". Currently fitted with a range of traditional units, there is useful worktop and storage space together with room for a breakfast table. The room offers clear potential for a purchaser to redesign the kitchen to suit contemporary requirements.

A hallway leads to the ground-floor bathroom, currently fitted with a panelled bath and wash basin, while stairs rise to the first-floor accommodation.

Upstairs are three bedrooms. The principal bedroom is a generous double measuring approximately 12'6" x 10'9", with the second bedroom also providing comfortable proportions. The third bedroom measures approximately 8'9" x 6'8" and provides useful additional accommodation as a child's bedroom, nursery or home office.

The property would now benefit from comprehensive cosmetic improvement, and this is very much part of its appeal. Rather than paying a premium for somebody else's specification, a new owner has the opportunity to update the interiors and make better use of the generous existing accommodation.

Outside is another of the property's principal strengths. A broad block-paved driveway runs alongside the house, providing extensive off-road parking and access to the detached garage.

Measuring approximately 25'9" x 9'6", the garage is considerably longer than a conventional single garage and provides excellent space for parking, storage, hobbies or workshop use.

To the rear is a paved terrace leading into an established garden with areas of lawn and a variety of mature trees, shrubs and hedging. The garden itself offers good proportions, privacy from established planting and considerable potential for landscaping.
