About
A deceptively spacious and immaculately presented four-bedroom linked detached home, ideally positioned in South Colchester, offering convenient access to local amenities, shops, the bus network into the city centre, and well-regarded schools.
Internally, the property is entered via a welcoming entrance hall, enhanced by bespoke panelling that continues up the staircase and landing.
This leads into a bright and airy living room, featuring a charming log burner and stylish wood-effect laminate flooring.
To the rear, there is a modern shaker-style kitchen/dining room, fitted with matt-finish units, an electric induction hob, space for appliances, and complemented by spotlights and a tiled splashback.
Completing the ground floor is a conservatory with attractive Victorian mosaic-style flooring and French doors opening onto the garden.
The first floor offers four generously sized bedrooms, with the principal bedroom providing ample space for wardrobes as well as a desk or home office area.
The remaining bedrooms are all well-presented and tastefully decorated. A contemporary shower room serves all four bedrooms and is finished to a good standard.
Externally, the property boasts an impressive, low-maintenance rear garden.
Features include a wraparound patio area with a pergola, ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining, alongside artificial turf.
The garden is enclosed by panel fencing and mature shrubs, with direct access to the garage, which benefits from both power and lighting.
To the front, there is a secure driveway providing off-road parking for multiple vehicles, accessed via a carport.
