About
A beautifully extended and well-presented four-bedroom detached family home, ideally located in the highly sought-after St. Johns area to the north of Colchester.
This spacious and versatile property offers the perfect setting for family living, with a wealth of amenities close by including a Tesco Extra Superstore, petrol station, excellent bus routes, and a range of well-regarded primary and secondary schools all within easy reach.
Lovingly maintained by its current owners, the home features generous and well-defined living spaces throughout.
The ground floor welcomes you with a bright entrance hallway, a modern cloakroom, a contemporary kitchen with integrated appliances and stylish tiled flooring, and access to both a formal dining room and a spacious living room complete with a working open fireplace—perfect for cosy evenings.
Upstairs, you’ll find four well-proportioned bedrooms, two benefiting from built-in storage, and a sleek, modern family bathroom suite serving all rooms.
The property also benefits from gas central heating and internal access to the garage. Set within walking distance of local shops and conveniences at St.
Christopher Road—including a Tesco Express, pharmacy, hairdressers, and the recently refurbished local pub, The Friar—this home offers both comfort and convenience in equal measure.
Outside, the rear garden has been thoughtfully landscaped to create an ideal space for relaxation and entertaining, with large patio areas perfect for outdoor dining, a well-maintained lawn, mature borders, and two useful storage sheds to remain.
Side access leads to the front of the property, where a private driveway provides ample off-road parking.
This is a fantastic opportunity to secure a substantial family home in a well-connected and desirable location. Early viewing is highly recommended.
