Bracken, Long Road West, Colchester, CO7 6ES

Occupying a generous plot on sought-after Long Road West in Dedham, this attractive detached bungalow offers versatile single-storey accommodation, complemented by extensive off-road parking and a substantial, established rear garden of approximately 0.52 acres (sts).

The bungalow is offered with no onward chain. The property is approached over a generous, gravelled frontage providing ample off-road parking, with established boundary planting.

Once inside, an inviting entrance hall, with decorative wall panelling and a herringbone-style timber floor immediately introduce the character and considered finish found throughout the home.

The hall forms a natural central axis through the bungalow, providing access to the principal rooms and incorporating useful built-in storage.

The kitchen/dining room is an impressive and sociable space, generously proportioned and beautifully connected to the adjoining reception accommodation.

Newly fitted cabinetry, installed in summer 2026, provides an extensive range of storage and workspace, while the herringbone-style timber flooring continues through the room to create a pleasing sense of continuity.

The arrangement provides ample scope for both everyday family life and entertaining, with French doors to the rear drawing in natural light and opening directly onto the patio and garden beyond.

Internal glazed timber doors lead into the generously proportioned living room, creating a pleasing sense of flow between the principal reception spaces whilst retaining the flexibility for each to be enjoyed independently.

A useful alcove provides a natural space for a desk or home-working area, while further French doors open directly onto the patio, strengthening the connection between the living accommodation and garden and allowing the outside space to become a natural extension of the room during the warmer months.

A separate utility room is positioned conveniently beyond the kitchen and features cabinetry also newly fitted in summer 2026, providing additional practical workspace and storage alongside laundry facilities.

A glazed external door offers direct access to the rear.

The bedroom accommodation is arranged across the bungalow and comprises four well-proportioned rooms, offering excellent flexibility for family life, visiting guests or those wishing to create a dedicated home-working space.

The main bedroom is complemented by its own ensuite facilities, with the remaining three bedrooms served by both a family bathroom and an additional shower room, providing a particularly practical arrangement for a home of this size.

Outside to the rear, is a particularly substantial garden, extending well beyond the immediate area behind the bungalow.

A broad paved patio adjoins the property, providing an excellent space for outdoor dining and entertaining, before opening onto a large area of lawn.

The garden continues into a more established and natural section, with an abundance of mature trees, shrubs and planting creating a wonderfully leafy backdrop and a good sense of privacy.

There is also a sizeable productive garden area with growing beds and polytunnel provision, offering considerable scope for keen gardeners and those interested in growing their own produce.

A detached garage provides useful secure parking or storage, while the overall scale of the grounds is a notable feature of the property, offering plenty of space to enjoy and considerable potential for a variety of outdoor uses.
