Belhus Properties are delighted to present this deceptively spacious, well-presented three-bedroom semi-detached town house situated in a quiet area to the South/West of Colchester.
Excellent access to local schools and the historic City Centre with a mainline railway station providing links to London and other destinations.
Internally, the accommodation comprises an entrance hallway, a ground-floor cloakroom, a modern, streamlined kitchen with fully integrated appliances and a dining area, and the first-floor benefits from a sitting room, a main bedroom with a walk-in wardrobe, and a family bathroom.
The second floor consists of an additional two bedrooms and a shower room. The current owners have elegantly enhanced the property since living here, making it a home you can simply move into!

A decked walkway from the main area as you step out of the back door completes the aesthetically pleasing design.
The remainder is mainly laid to lawn with raised beds at the rear and enclosed by wooden panel fencing.
