About this property

    Guide price £290,000-£300,000 Nestled in the heart of the popular Greenstead area of Colchester, this well-presented three-bedroom semi-detached home offers exceptional living space both inside and out. Situated on an impressively large plot, this property boasts a huge rear garden, a versatile brick-built outbuilding complete with power and its own WC – ideal as a home office, workshop, studio or even a potential annex (STPP).

    Upon entry, you're welcomed by a spacious entrance hall, which leads into a bright and airy lounge at the front of the house – a perfect retreat for relaxing or entertaining guests. To the rear, the standout kitchen/diner spans the full width of the home and offers a stylish and functional space. Fitted with a comprehensive range of wall and base units, ample worktop space, and room for all appliances, this space easily accommodates a family dining table and offers direct access to the rear garden.

    Upstairs, the first floor features three well-proportioned bedrooms – two comfortable doubles and a generous single, ideal for a nursery, guest room, or home office. The family bathroom and separate WC serve the bedrooms.

    Externally, the front of the property provides driveway parking for two vehicles, while the rear garden is truly a standout feature – immensely spacious, private, and perfect for families, gardening enthusiasts, or those looking to extend in future (subject to planning).
