5, St. Lawrence Road, Colchester, CO4 0LG

There’s much more to this bungalow than first meets the eye.

Behind the smart, well-kept exterior is a surprisingly spacious home, with a brilliant living and dining space stretching towards the garden as well as three good sized bedrooms.

It’s bright, well presented and easy to live in, with French doors onto the garden, plenty of parking and a detached garage all adding to the appeal.

Whether you’re looking to downsize without downsizing too much, want everything on one level or simply like the space and flexibility a bungalow gives you, this one ticks a lot of boxes.

The Property Step inside and you’ll quickly get a feel for just how much space is on offer.

The hallway runs through the heart of the bungalow, connecting the bedrooms and shower room with the main living accommodation.

The sitting room is a great size - somewhere you can comfortably fit proper sofas and still have room around you.

It opens through into the dining area at the rear, creating a lovely long living space that feels sociable without being completely open plan.

The dining area is particularly bright, with windows to either side and French doors onto the garden, so there’s a natural connection between inside and out.

The kitchen is separate and practical, with a good range of storage and worktop space, a gas hob and room for appliances.

There’s also direct access outside - always handy for shopping, muddy shoes or getting out into the garden. There are three bedrooms, and importantly, none feels like an afterthought.

The largest is a comfortable double with plenty of room for wardrobes, while the other two give you options depending on how you want to use the home.

Guest room, office, dressing room, hobby space – you’ve got the flexibility to make the layout work for you.

The shower room has a clean, contemporary finish, with a generous shower enclosure, WC and wash basin.

The Outside The bungalow has a good presence from the road, set back behind its front garden with a generous driveway running alongside.

There’s parking for several cars, with the drive continuing through to the detached garage – particularly useful if you want secure storage, workshop space or somewhere to keep the car tucked away.

The rear garden is enclosed and manageable, with lawn and a paved area ready for a table and chairs.

The French doors from the dining area make this feel like a genuine extension of the living space in warmer weather, whether it’s morning coffee outside or dinner with the doors thrown open.

The Area St Lawrence Road is an established residential road on the northern side of Colchester, putting everyday amenities within easy reach while keeping you well connected to the wider city.

Colchester offers pretty much everything you need day to day, from shopping and restaurants to leisure facilities and green spaces, alongside rail connections towards London Liverpool Street.

There’s also straightforward access to the surrounding road network and the A12, making this a practical base for getting around.
