Boydens are excited to present this well-proportioned three-bedroom detached property, nestled in the highly sought-after western area of Colchester city centre. Situated within walking distance of esteemed educational institutions such as the Girls' High School and the Colchester Royal Grammar School, along with a host of other schools, this home offers the perfect blend of convenience and quality education for families.

Upon arrival, you're greeted by an open storm porch leading into a generously proportioned hallway, complete with an under-stairs cupboard and access to the downstairs WC. To the left, the inviting lounge features a large double-glazed window to the front aspect and a central gas flame effect fireplace , creating a cosy atmosphere. Sliding doors lead out to the rear garden, extending the living space seamlessly. The adjacent dining room offers serene views of the rear garden through a rear window. The kitchen, accessed from both the dining room and hallway, boasts a range of base and eye-level units with integrated appliances and a convenient side door leading to the undercover lobby and the single garage. This flexible ground floor layout presents ample potential for reconfiguration or extension to create a spacious open-plan living area, in line with neighbouring properties.

Upstairs, three generously sized double bedrooms await, all offering built-in wardrobes and storage spaces for added convenience. These bedrooms are served by the shower bathroom, complete with a corner shower, WC, and sink. Further extension possibilities exist for this floor, with the potential to create a large principal bedroom with a dressing room and ensuite, mirroring neighbouring properties over the garage.

Externally, the property boasts off-road parking via a driveway leading to the single garage with an up-and-over door. The generous rear garden, adorned with mature trees and shrubs, features a patio area at the rear of the property leading to a predominantly laid lawn area. A wooden storage shed adds practicality to this south-facing outdoor space.

In summary, this delightful property not only offers comfortable living spaces but also exciting potential for expansion and customisation, all within a coveted location close to schools and amenities.
