PROPERTY SUMMARY
This impressive detached home was originally built in 1992 but has been comprehensively updated since our clients took ownership in 2012. It now makes the most of its superb location and is an ideal home for families, especially those needing to be just a short walk from Colchester North Station.
 
Improvements include the renovation of all three bathrooms and the WC with Villeroy and Boch fittings, a new gas boiler, fitted wardrobes in four of the bedrooms, a new kitchen (with a large fitted fridge freezer, Quooker boiling water tap, Neff dishwasher and microwave and a Smeg gas range) and a re-fitted utility room which includes a washing machine and a tumble dryer.
 
The property has three reception rooms. A double aspect sitting room with an open fireplace is positioned on the first floor; this enjoys views over the 10th green of Colchester Golf Club from a Juliet balcony. Both the dining room and the family room on the ground floor also have open fireplaces.
 
The substantial master bedroom suite is located on the top floor. This has a large en-suite shower room and has been appointed with a series of fitted (Hammond) drawers and wardrobes. There are three further double bedrooms (one with en-suite) and the study on the ground floor and the fifth (single) bedroom on the top floor combine to the make the house suitable for families with more than one person working from home.
 
GROUNDS AND GARAGE
The landscaped rear garden is 60 feet deep and 80 feet wide. It is mostly laid to lawn but features two patios and two ornamental areas. At the front the property benefits from an extremely well looked after hedge that provides privacy, and there is a detached double garage and private driveway parking for four cars.
 
LOCATION
Devereux Place is a private drive of six similar sized detached properties located in the sought-after Braiswick area of Colchester. The property is within an easy walk (0.6-miles) of Colchester North mainline station where a service to London Liverpool Street runs with a travel time of 50 minutes.
 
Colchester City centre is just a mile from the house and access to the A12 in both directions is straight forward. Catchment schools include Braiswick Primary and St Helena Secondary School - the property is also within an easy drive of several good private schools.

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on January 28, 2022

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
