37, Allen Aldridge Grove, Colchester, CO3 8BT

A modern three-bedroom home that makes really good use of its space.

The ground floor is largely open plan, bringing the kitchen, dining and living areas together, with French doors straight out to the garden.

Two bedrooms and the bathroom sit on the first floor, while the principal bedroom gets the top floor to itself.

Add in a downstairs WC, enclosed garden and a well-connected Stanway location and you've got a beautifully presented, easy-to-live-in home that should work equally well for first-time buyers, young families or anyone wanting modern living without lots of upkeep.

The Property Step inside and the entrance hall leads through to the main living space, with a useful downstairs WC tucked away just off it.

The kitchen/diner sits towards the front, fitted with a good range of units and worktop space, alongside room to sit and eat.

Rather than separating everything into individual rooms, the layout then flows naturally into the lounge at the rear. It's a simple layout, but one that works.

There's plenty of room for a sofa and TV setup, while French doors bring in the light and open directly onto the garden - particularly handy for entertaining in the summer months.

Head upstairs and the first floor has two bedrooms, both offering genuinely spacious proportions rather than one feeling like an afterthought.

The contemporary family bathroom is also here, fitted with a white suite and shower over the bath. The principal bedroom occupies the entire second floor.

It's a lovely addition to the house, with roof windows bringing in plenty of natural light and enough space to create a comfortable bedroom away from the rest of the accommodation.

The Outside The rear garden is enclosed and easy to manage, with a paved patio immediately outside the French doors and lawn beyond.

There's enough room for outdoor seating, a barbecue and somewhere for children to play, without giving you a garden that's going to take over your weekends.

The Area Allen Aldridge Grove sits in Stanway, on the western side of Colchester.

It's an area that works particularly well for day-to-day life, with supermarkets, shops, restaurants and leisure facilities around Tollgate and Stane Retail Park, along with schools in the wider area.

Access to the A12 is straightforward for journeys towards Chelmsford, Ipswich and beyond, while Colchester city centre and Colchester North Station are also within easy reach, with direct rail services into London Liverpool Street.
