About
Guide Price: £400,000 - £425,000.
Situated on the popular St Andrews Avenue, this spacious and well-presented five-bedroom, two-bathroom semi-detached family home has been thoughtfully extended over the years, including a double-storey extension, now offering just under 1,600 sq ft of versatile internal accommodation.
The property is offered with a complete chain and benefits from a large private front driveway providing ample off-road parking for up to five vehicles, along with a garage and workshop, and a generous enclosed rear garden enjoying far-reaching views over Colchester.
Perfectly positioned close to high-performing primary and secondary schools, local amenities and transport links, this substantial family home combines space, functionality and location, making it an outstanding opportunity in a highly regarded residential area.
The accommodation begins with an entrance porch opening into a welcoming hallway.
To the front is a bay-fronted living room, ideal for relaxing, while a convenient ground floor WC adds everyday practicality.
To the rear, the home truly opens up into a spacious living and dining area, featuring sliding doors leading out to the garden and an attractive fitted bookshelf/display unit.
Just off this space is a well-presented galley-style kitchen, offering an abundance of worktop and cupboard space, along with a patio door providing further access to the rear garden.
Upstairs, the landing leads to a generous principal bedroom complete with full-length built-in wardrobes and a modern en-suite shower room, boasting a double walk-in shower, WC and wash basin.
There is also a bay-fronted double bedroom with built-in wardrobes, three further well-proportioned bedrooms, and a family bathroom comprising a bath with shower over, WC and wash basin.
The large enclosed rear garden is a standout feature, offering elevated views across Colchester.
The garden includes an extended patio area, expansive lawn, mature plants, borders and trees, as well as a brick-built outbuilding and greenhouse.
A door from the garden provides access into the workshop, which in turn leads through to the garage.
To the front, the sizeable driveway and up-and-over garage door provide excellent parking and storage options.
