Property Description

Exclusive to Patrick James, positioned on a generous plot within the ever-popular Highwoods area of Colchester, this beautifully presented and impressively spacious five-bedroom, four bathroom detached home offers over 2,200 sq. ft. of versatile accommodation across three floors. Enhanced by the current owners—including a redesigned kitchen and two recently updated bathrooms—this is an ideal home for a growing family seeking comfort, space, and convenience.

Set back from the road with a large block-paved driveway, the property welcomes you via a light-filled entrance hall with stairs to the first floor, a practical cloakroom, and a useful under-stairs storage cupboard.

To the left, the dual-aspect lounge (21'6" x 11'7") is both elegant and inviting, featuring a bay window to the front, and double doors opening into the conservatory (12'4" x 7'11")—a serene space perfect for relaxing or entertaining, with French doors leading out to the landscaped rear garden.

To the right of the hall is the stylish kitchen/dining room (21'5" x 10'7"), thoughtfully remodelled with sleek granite worktops, an extensive range of units, and space for a range-style cooker with extractor over. Dual-aspect bay windows to the front and rear flood the space with natural light. Just off the kitchen, the utility room (5'9" x 5'9") provides a discreet and functional laundry space with access to the garden.
