Boydens is pleased to present this three-bedroom detached residence, situated on a desirable corner plot. Offering ample living space and significant potential for modernisation, this property is being sold chain-free.
The accommodation features a welcoming porch with a convenient downstairs cloakroom. From here, a door opens into a bright and spacious lounge, boasting dual-aspect windows and a feature gas fireplace with an elegant surround. The lounge leads into a dining room, which provides access to a galley-style kitchen requiring updating. The kitchen includes side windows and a door to the rear of the property. Additionally, a generously sized conservatory overlooks a beautifully landscaped garden, complete with well-stocked borders and a charming ornamental pond. A study also occupies the ground floor, offering flexible use of space.
On the first floor, the property comprises two double bedrooms, both featuring built-in wardrobes, a single bedroom, and a family bathroom.
Externally, the property benefits from off-road parking in front of a double garage. Wooden gates on either side provide access to the landscaped rear garden, which has been thoughtfully designed with mature planting.
Location:
Bromley Heights is a sought-after development of primarily detached houses and bungalows, conveniently located just off Bromley Road. Local amenities include a Tesco Express, a hair salon, and a small shopping parade in nearby St. John’s, which offers a supermarket and takeaways. The Highwoods and St. Andrews suburbs provide further shopping options with large Tesco and Sainsbury's stores.
For London-bound commuters, Manningtree and Colchester North railway stations offer excellent links to London Liverpool Street, with journey times of under one hour. The area is also well-connected by road, with the A133 providing access to the coastal towns of Walton-on-the-Naze, Frinton-on-Sea, and Clacton-on-Sea. The A12 links to Chelmsford and Ipswich, with further connections to the A14, Midlands, and M25.
Recreational opportunities abound, with several golf courses, sailing clubs along the Blackwater, Colne, and Stour rivers, and the east coast’s sandy beaches all within easy reach.
This property presents an exciting opportunity to create a modern family home in a desirable location.
