House For Sale £450,000
Elegant, post-war detached house, situated in the sought-after Old Heath area of Colchester with accommodation comprising living room, snug, kitchen / dining room, utility room, principal bedroom with en-suite shower room and dressing room, three further bedrooms and family bathroom. The property also benefits from a carport, off-road parking and gardens.
This elegant, traditional family home situated in the Old Heath area of Colchester was built in 1946 and emits a feeling of comfort from its sturdy walls as the viewer steps through the solid timber, arched door, over the threshold, and into the welcoming hallway.
The living room enjoys an abundance of windows, with the centre piece being a shallow bay window which allows light to flood into the room making this a lovely place to sit and read quietly during the daytime, but equally a cosy place to enjoy a relaxing evening.
Adjacent to the living room is the snug - an invaluable space for families albeit where the young ones can play, or for older teens, a place to hang out and just be. However, for those who enjoy a formal dining experience, this room could make an excellent, dedicated formal dining room.
At the back of the house and encompassing the entire width of the building is where the heart beats loudest in this home. Presented in a contemporary shaker style this room exudes quality and style which work hand in hand with the bright openness and access to the garden – a lovely place for a meal whilst enjoying views over the garden.
A utility room with separate access to outside completes the ground-floor accommodation.
On the first floor, the generous principal bedroom benefits from a dressing room and en-suite shower room, whilst three further bedrooms and family bathroom conclude the accommodation.
To the front of the property, wrought iron railings, shingle and lawn create a smartly traditional approach, with a block-paved driveway leading to a carport and off-road parking.
To the rear, bi-fold doors open into the garden which commences with decking, perfect for alfresco dining during the warmer months. The remainder of the garden is mainly laid to lawn, with mature trees, a delightful summerhouse, a workshop and shed. A perfect spot for all the family.
