3 bed detached house for sale

Dale Close, Stanway, Colchester CO3

Detached. Decent plot. Serious potential.
A detached three-bedroom house on a wrap-around plot, tucked away in a quiet cul-de-sac in Stanway, with parking for three cars, a detached garage and something that could make this house considerably more than it is today.

This is an opportunity to buy a detached home with the space, position and potential to make it your own.

The plot

The plot is one of the first things you'll notice.

Unlike many houses where the garden simply stretches out behind the property, this one wraps around the house, giving you useful outdoor space to the front, side and rear.

The frontage catches the sun, while the wrap-around layout gives the property a real sense of space around it. There's also driveway parking for two to three cars and a detached garage.

It's a proper detached house, on a proper plot, in a cul-de-sac and that's becoming increasingly difficult to find at this price point.

Inside

The ground floor offers an entrance hall, cloakroom, sitting room, kitchen and a separate sun room opening onto the garden.

The sun room is a particularly flexible space and could work well as a home office, playroom, hobby room or additional reception space depending on how you live.

Upstairs are two double bedrooms, a third bedroom and the family bathroom.

The house is currently around 786 sq ft, with the accommodation laid out across two floors. The floorplan gives you the full dimensions, so you can see exactly how the existing space works.

The EPC is rated C.

The big opportunity

This is where things get interesting.

The house has a full pitched roof across the footprint, creating an unusually exciting opportunity to explore additional accommodation above.

It's not a planning application and any conversion would of course be subject to the usual planning, building regulations and structural considerations but the potential is there, and we've shown you what it could look like.

So you can buy it as a three-bedroom detached house and enjoy it exactly as it is.

Or, if you want more space, there's a very interesting project sitting above you.

Outside

The wrap-around plot gives you considerably more outside space than the footprint of the house initially suggests.

There's driveway parking for two to three cars, plus a detached garage measuring approximately 159 sq ft.

The garage is ideal for storage, bikes, tools, hobbies or a workshop, while the driveway takes care of the everyday parking.

The location

Dale Close sits in Stanway, on the west side of Colchester.

Tollgate Retail Park and Sainsbury's are less than a mile away, while the A12 provides straightforward connections towards Chelmsford and Ipswich.

Marks Tey station is just over two miles away, offering direct services into London Liverpool Street.

There's also a good selection of schools and everyday amenities close by.

The previous marketing hasn't done this house any favours. We think the opportunity here is much clearer when you look beyond the four walls.

A detached house.
A wrap-around plot.
Three bedrooms.
Three-car parking.
Detached garage.
And genuine potential to create more space upstairs.

If you're looking for a house with good bones, a great plot and the opportunity to make it considerably more, it's absolutely worth a look.

Book your viewing and come and see it for yourself.
