4 Bedroom Detached House

Occupying a generous corner position within a peaceful residential setting, this beautifully presented detached home has been thoughtfully enhanced to create bright, contemporary living spaces designed around modern family life. A substantial rear extension has transformed the ground floor into an impressive open-plan hub, while retaining the flexibility of separate reception rooms and a dedicated study. Outside, the landscaped garden provides an ideal backdrop for entertaining, complemented by ample parking, a detached garage, EV charging and comprehensive exterior CCTV

The Property - A welcoming entrance hall sets the tone, leading to a selection of versatile reception spaces. To the front, the sitting room enjoys a bay window and a calm atmosphere, while a separate snug offers an ideal family room or children's playroom. A further study provides an excellent home-working space.

To the rear, the home opens dramatically into a superb kitchen, dining and family room extending across the width of the property. Finished with sleek, contemporary cabinetry, integrated appliances and an impressive central island, the space is flooded with natural light from roof lanterns above and full-width bi-fold doors overlooking the garden. Carefully zoned for cooking, dining and relaxing, it creates an effortless connection between inside and out, making it equally suited to everyday family life and entertaining. A separate utility room keeps practical elements discreetly tucked away, with direct access to the outside.

Upstairs, four generously proportioned bedrooms offer comfortable accommodation. The principal bedroom benefits from a stylish en-suite shower room, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a contemporary family bathroom. Each room is presented in a modern, neutral palette, allowing buyers to move straight in.

The Outside - The property enjoys an attractive frontage with a block-paved driveway providing generous off-road parking alongside a detached garage. An EV charging point has been installed as well as a full exterior CCTV system.

To the rear, the enclosed garden has been designed with entertaining in mind. A broad paved terrace sits immediately outside the bi-fold doors, creating a seamless extension of the living space during warmer months, before giving way to a level lawn bordered by mature fencing. A timber outbuilding offers useful storage or workshop potential, while the garage provides further storage.

The Area - Great Horkesley is one of north Colchester's most desirable villages, offering a balance of countryside surroundings and everyday convenience. The village provides well-regarded local schools, shops, pubs and scenic walking routes, while Colchester city centre offers an extensive range of shopping, leisure and dining facilities.

Excellent transport links include easy access to the A12 and nearby Colchester North Station, providing direct rail services to London Liverpool Street, making the location equally attractive for commuters and families alike.
