Crowhurst Road, Colchester, CO3 3JW

Period character, more space than you might expect and a location that puts the city within easy reach. This two-bedroom home offers two reception rooms, an impressive extended kitchen, two bathrooms and a long rear garden – all wrapped up in an attractive red-brick terrace close to the centre of Colchester.

The Property
From the outside, this is a classic red-brick period home, and inside there is a surprising amount of living space arranged across two floors.
The entrance hall leads into the front reception room, a comfortable separate living space with a period-style fireplace and stripped wood flooring. Beyond this, the second reception room gives you plenty of flexibility – dining room, family room or simply somewhere to spread out – with another fireplace and built-in storage adding to the character.
The kitchen is a real feature of the house. Extended across the rear, it runs to over 27ft in length and has been designed to make the most of the space and natural light. A vaulted ceiling with rooflights overhead, additional windows and doors onto the garden create a bright feel, while there is plenty of fitted storage and worktop space along both sides. 
A modern shower room sits just off the kitchen, giving the ground floor the added convenience of a second bathroom.
Upstairs are two genuinely good-sized double bedrooms. The front bedroom spans the width of the house and benefits from two windows, while the second is another comfortable double with built-in storage. Beyond this is a particularly generous en-suite bathroom with a full-size bath – an unusual amount of bathroom space for a two-bedroom period home.

The Outside
The rear garden is another strong point. Long and enclosed, it offers plenty of space to create distinct seating, entertaining and planted areas, while still leaving room for children, pets or anyone keen to get stuck into the garden.
There are also useful timber outbuildings providing additional storage, with the kitchen opening directly outside to make the garden feel like a natural extension of the house during the warmer months.

The Area
Crowhurst Road is particularly well placed for anyone wanting city life within easy reach without living right in the middle of it. Crouch Street, with its independent shops, cafés and everyday amenities, is close by while Colchester's wider city centre offering is also easily accessible.
Transport links are a real advantage here. Colchester Town station is around 0.56 miles away as the crow flies, with Colchester's mainline station around 0.79 miles away, making the location particularly practical for commuters. There are also shops, a post office and schools within the surrounding area.
