Stanway, Colchester, CO3 0RB

Set on a peaceful close in Stanway, this two-bedroom semi-detached house offers a calm and practical arrangement of space, with a generous living area, private garden and open outlook to the rear.

The interiors are light and unfussy, creating a comfortable home that is both functional and quietly inviting.

The Property The house is approached via a small enclosed front garden, lending a sense of arrival before stepping into the entrance hall.

From here, this home opens into a surprisingly generous sitting room that runs the full depth of the house.

Timber effect flooring adds warmth underfoot, while a large rear window frames views of the garden and draws in a soft, even light.

The proportions allow for both relaxed seating and dining, giving the room a flexible, sociable quality.

To the rear, the kitchen is neatly arranged in a U-shape, with pale cabinetry paired with darker work surfaces.

A wide window sits above the sink, looking out onto the garden, while a glazed door provides direct access outside.

The space feels practical and well-lit, with a simple, functional layout suited to everyday use. Upstairs, two double bedrooms sit either side of the landing.

The principal bedroom is particularly well-proportioned, with built-in wardrobes spanning one wall and a calm, muted palette that enhances the sense of rest.

The second bedroom is also a comfortable double, adaptable as a guest room, nursery or workspace.

A centrally positioned bathroom serves both rooms, finished with full-height tiling and a bath with overhead shower.

The Outside The rear garden is enclosed and thoughtfully arranged, combining a paved terrace with a lawn beyond.

The patio sits directly outside the kitchen, creating a natural extension of the interior during warmer months-well suited to outdoor dining or quiet evenings.

Beyond, the lawn stretches to the rear boundary, where a timber shed provides useful storage.

The garden backs onto allotments, offering an unexpectedly open and green outlook that enhances both privacy and a connection to nature.

To the front, a small fenced garden softens the approach, while a garage en bloc provides additional storage or parking nearby.
