House For Sale £350,000
Temme English are delighted to present this stunning three bedroom, gabled, end-terrace family home in one of New Towns most prestigious roads; now a Conservation area, with flowering trees in the spring and in summer full of hollyhocks. The popular 'New Town' was the first planned estate of Housing built outside the Roman walls of Colchester. It is a short walk to the town centre, passing the Town Station (St Botolph’s) on the way and the S1 bus passes a block away.
The home boasts an array of original character features; fireplaces, a bay window with stained glass panels, wood panel doors, sash windows and garden walls made with Victorian concrete. In 2005 the house was completely replastered, and a new staircase put in.
