About
A spacious three-bedroom semi-detached family home on a large south-facing plot in the highly sought-after Prettygate area of Colchester.
With excellent schools, local amenities and easy access to Colchester city centre, this impressive property offers generous accommodation, excellent presentation throughout and a fantastic garden and driveway.
Inside there is a welcoming living room positioned at the front of the property, while to the rear is the real heart of the home — a particularly large kitchen/diner with plenty of space for family dining and entertaining.
French doors open directly onto the south-facing garden, creating a wonderful connection between the indoor and outdoor living spaces.
A useful utility area and ground-floor WC add further practicality.
Upstairs, the property continues to impress with three well-proportioned bedrooms, including a spacious master bedroom at the rear with its own en-suite shower room.
There is also a large family bathroom, a second double bedroom and a further smaller double bedroom.
Outside, the property sits on a generous plot with a large, laid-to-lawn south-facing rear garden, ideal for families, entertaining or simply enjoying the sunshine.
To the front, the substantial driveway provides parking for at least three cars, making this an especially practical home for modern family life.
Presented in excellent order throughout, the property combines space, versatility and a superb location.
The generous proportions and large plot make this a home that truly needs to be viewed to be appreciated.
Located in popular Prettygate, close to highly regarded primary and secondary schools, local shops and amenities, with convenient access to Colchester city centre.
Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the size, condition and fantastic plot this family home has to offer. Offered unfurnished and available in October.
This property is available with a Deposit Free option which means that instead of paying a traditional five weeks security deposit, you pay a fee of 28% of the first months rent + VAT (subject to a minimum of £120 + VAT) to become a member of a deposit free renting scheme which significantly reduces the up-front costs.
This fee is non-refundable and is not a deposit so cannot be used towards covering the cost of any future damage.
