Boydens are pleased to present this spacious and well-appointed four-bedroom family home, located in the highly desirable Stanway area to the west of Colchester. This property, built in the 1960s and set on a generous 0.45 acre plot, has been thoughtfully extended over the years, providing versatile living spaces throughout.
Situated back from the road, the property benefits from ample off-road parking in front of a large double garage. The welcoming entrance is via a double-glazed door leading into an inviting hallway, featuring parquet flooring and an open staircase that ascends to the first floor. To the right, you will find a recently modernised shower room that serves a ground-floor bedroom and a study. To the left, the dining room offers access to a galley-style kitchen, with views overlooking the front garden. The kitchen leads into a spacious utility room, which houses all the laundry facilities.
The dining room seamlessly flows into a generous lounge area, where floor-to-ceiling windows bathe the space in natural light. The lounge features a log burner set within a red brick chimney stack, a vaulted wooden ceiling, and a mezzanine walkway that connects the bedrooms above. There are multiple points of access to the rear garden from the living areas, enhancing the home's indoor-outdoor flow.

On the first floor, you will find two well-proportioned double bedrooms, both with built-in wardrobes, which share a family bathroom. The mezzanine provides access to the master suite, which enjoys views over the expansive rear garden and benefits from an en-suite shower room.
Externally, the property is set back from the road with a front garden that is predominantly laid to lawn, complemented by established borders. A driveway offers ample parking and leads to the double garage. A side gate provides access to the rear garden, which has been lovingly cultivated by the current owner, a keen gardener. The garden features a variety of areas, including rockeries and vegetable patches, offering year-round interest and seasonal blooms.

This unique and versatile property is offered to the market with no onward chain and represents an exceptional opportunity for a growing family.
