Perfect Family Home
Positioned on a desirable straight road in CO3, this substantial detached house sits within highly regarded school catchments, making it an outstanding choice for families seeking both space and access to quality education. With a generous driveway accommodating 4–5 vehicles, the home immediately offers practicality alongside strong kerb appeal.
Originally a bungalow, the property has been extensively extended to the rear and first floor, and now stands as a spacious detached house with a highly versatile layout. The current owners have undertaken a comprehensive refurbishment throughout, bringing the home up to an excellent modern standard. The kitchen and all bathrooms have been fully replaced, combining stylish contemporary finishes with practical design suited to everyday family living.
Internally, the ground floor offers three reception rooms, providing flexibility for formal living, relaxation, or entertaining. A separate study further enhances versatility and could easily be utilised as a ground-floor bedroom if required. The standout feature is the impressive open-plan kitchen, dining, and secondary living area—designed as the true heart of the home—complete with integrated appliances including a built-in oven, fridge freezer, and dishwasher. A well-appointed utility room, with additional pantry storage, ensures functionality remains at the forefront.
Upstairs, there are four well-proportioned bedrooms, including a spacious master suite with its own ensuite. A modern family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms, while an additional bathroom on the ground floor provides added convenience for busy households.
The property also benefits from a fully self-contained annex, offering excellent potential for multi-generational living, guest accommodation, or rental income. The annex comprises its own bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, and electric water system, delivering both independence and comfort.
Externally, the home boasts a substantial garden, providing ample space for entertaining, children’s play, or future landscaping potential. Thoughtful additions, such as hot and cold outdoor taps, make it easy to maintain the garden or fill a pool throughout the year.
For families, the location is a key advantage. The property falls within the catchment area for well-regarded primary and secondary schools in CO3, known for their strong reputations. This ensures a convenient school run while enhancing long-term desirability and future resale value.
Combining generous proportions, flexible living, high-quality refurbishment, and a prime location, this home represents a rare opportunity within CO3. Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate everything this exceptional property has to offer.

About Colchester

It has a high employment rate, a thriving local economy, a great shopping scene and vibrant nightlife, and is just 42 minutes by train from London.
Colchester, situated in Essex, has some fantastic transport links, which add to its appeal. The A12 connects the town to London, and direct trains run from Colchester to London Liverpool Street. The town is only a short drive to the beaches and sailing at Mersea Island, and an hour’s drive from the beautiful Suffolk towns of Aldeburgh and Southwold.
In 2022, Colchester was given City status to mark the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations. The Platinum Jubilee civic honours required applicants to demonstrate their royal associations and cultural heritage. Plus, their local identity and communities meant they deserved to be granted city status.
