Situated on the popular Constantine Road in Colchester, this spacious and well-presented three-bedroom Victorian semi-detached home combines attractive period character with a substantial programme of improvements carried out over the years.

Offering approximately 1,028 sq ft of accommodation, a landscaped rear garden and no onward chain, the property is well suited to families, first-time buyers and those looking for a character home close to the city centre.

The location is a particular highlight, positioned within a stone’s throw of Hamilton Primary School and within easy reach of a selection of well-regarded primary and secondary schools.

The accommodation begins with an entrance hall leading into a welcoming living room, retaining a Victorian fireplace and featuring two replacement sash-style windows.

Continuing through is the spacious dining room, providing ample space for a family dining table and benefiting from useful understairs storage.

To the rear is a good-sized galley-style kitchen, fitted with an extensive range of cupboards and worktop space, with a door opening directly onto the rear garden.

Beyond the kitchen is an additional hallway area incorporating a large storage cupboard and providing access to the modern family bathroom.

Generously proportioned, the bathroom comprises a separate bath, large shower enclosure, WC and wash basin. The first-floor landing provides access to three bedrooms.

The principal bedroom is a generous double and retains further period character through its Victorian fireplace, alongside a built-in wardrobe/cupboard.

The second bedroom is another well-proportioned double with built-in storage, while the third is a single bedroom, again retaining a Victorian fireplace and benefiting from built-in cupboards.

Externally, the rear garden has been thoughtfully landscaped to provide a variety of areas for relaxing and entertaining.

Indian sandstone paving and a large composite decking area provide excellent outdoor seating spaces, complemented by an area of lawn and a mature tree.

A large garden shed benefits from both power and lighting, while side access leads back to the front of the property. Parking is available on street via a residents' permit scheme.

The current owners have undertaken a comprehensive range of improvements during their ownership while retaining selected original Victorian features, including fireplaces and doors.

Works include a complete electrical rewire with an updated compliant distribution board, replacement windows throughout, front door, cavity wall insulation and damp-proof course injection, loft insulation, repointing of the brickwork and replacement roof tiles and felt with ventilation.

The property also benefits from a newer combi boiler system, alongside TV and telephone points to most rooms.

With its combination of Victorian character, generous accommodation, extensive improvements, landscaped garden and convenient central Colchester location, this is an attractive family home that can be enjoyed from the outset and is offered to the market with the added advantage of no onward chain.
