About this property

** GUIDE PRICE £475,000 - £500,000 ** A well-proportioned four bedroom detached family home, constructed in 1999 by the highly regarded local builders Mersea Homes, and positioned towards the end of this quiet and much sought-after cul-de-sac in the north of Colchester. Offered with no onward chain, this is a superb opportunity to secure a quality home in a prime residential setting.

Accommodation
The internal accommodation is well balanced and ideal for modern family living. The ground floor comprises a welcoming entrance hallway, cloakroom, fitted kitchen and separate dining room, which offers excellent potential to be opened up to create a contemporary kitchen/diner. A generous rear-facing lounge provides an inviting living space with pleasant garden views. To the first floor are four good-sized bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with en suite shower room, along with a family bathroom serving the remaining bedrooms.

Outside Space
Externally, the property enjoys a substantial driveway providing ample off-road parking and leading to a detached double garage. Side access leads through to the enclosed rear garden, which is mainly laid to lawn and complemented by patio seating areas, mature flower and shrub borders, and wooden fencing, creating a private and family-friendly outdoor space ideal for both relaxation and entertaining.

Location
The location is a particular highlight, offering excellent access to Trinity Secondary School on Chesterwell, renowned for its outstanding reputation. The nearby Chesterwell Estate provides a range of everyday amenities including a Co-op supermarket, Esquires independent organic coffee shop, and a variety of small local businesses, perfectly blending convenience with community living. Colchester North Station, with mainline links to London Liverpool Street in under an hour, is within a short walk or drive, while Colchester General Hospital, the A12, and the Northern Gateway development with its extensive amenities and Park & Ride are all easily accessible. With keys held at our Chesterwell-based office, early viewing is strongly recommended to fully appreciate the location, space, and potential on offer and to avoid disappointment.
