Tucked away on a peaceful residential street in the heart of Colchester, this beautifully maintained semi-detached home is perfectly suited for families, professionals, or first-time buyers. Originally dating back to the 1800s, the property has been thoughtfully renovated and reconfigured over time, resulting in a unique layout that blends historic charm with contemporary living.
With excellent access to Colchester City Centre and within walking distance of regular bus routes, this home enjoys convenient connections to local amenities, Colchester train station (with direct links to London Liverpool Street), and the scenic Mersea Island. Everyday essentials are close at hand, including a post office, bakery, pharmacy, and more.
The property welcomes you with a spacious, south-facing frontage, offering a gated shingle driveway that serves as both a sun trap and an ideal spot for outdoor dining or relaxing. Enclosed by panel fencing, this area adds to the home’s charm and privacy. Internally a warm entrance hallway leads into a generous open-plan kitchen/dining area, complete with tiled flooring, a country-style kitchen, and a large walk-in pantry. A separate utility room and ground-floor cloakroom add practicality. The living/snug area is a cosy retreat, featuring oak flooring, an exposed brick fireplace, and French doors opening out to the garden. To the rear, a bright and airy family space offers a lot of natural light, thanks to the added benefit of floor-to-ceiling windows and Velux skylights ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. This area also includes a versatile ground-floor bedroom or study, perfect for guests or home working.
Upstairs, the first floor offers three well-proportioned bedrooms, including a master with en suite, and a stylish family bathroom. The rear garden is a true highlight, well cared for and predominantly laid to lawn with a patio area, perfect for alfresco dining. Mature shrubs, trees, and panel fencing create a sense of seclusion, while a summer house/garden shed offers practical storage. To the front, the mature garden and large driveway provide ample off-road parking, setting the home back from the road for added privacy.
