Details

Boydens are pleased to bring to the market this detached property offering stunning views of the Highwoods country park to the rear, five bedrooms, two reception rooms, a bathroom and a shower room.

The property has been extended by the current owners to create adaptable living spaces and four double bedrooms on the first floor. Accessing the property into the well-proportioned hallway, stairs lead to the first floor whilst there is enough space to lay down shoes and hang up coats as well as an understairs storage cupboard. The rear (extended) reception room benefits from patio doors leading out to the generous, terraced rear garden and there is an ornate open fireplace. The front dining room has a bow window to the front aspect and is well-proportioned with ample space for a large dining table. The kitchen is modern with fitted base and eye level units, an inset stainless steel sink with granite work surfaces and several spaces for appliances. There is also a well-maintained shower room on the ground floor and a utility room.

Upstairs there are five bedrooms, of which four are of a double size, two of which are at the back and have great views out to the country park. The principal front bedroom has a bow window to the front aspect with fitted wardrobes. There is a fifth single bedroom/nursery which could be converted into a dressing room en-suite for the front principal bedroom. The first floor is serviced by a good-sized family bathroom with bath, WC and vanity sink unit.

Externally there is ample parking to the front of the property with a block paved driveway, this allows parking for several vehicles with an in and out driveway (one access without a dropped curb), there is also a store to the front which can house a small classic car or bikes etc.

The rear garden is over a number of levels with a brick-built workshop (which was originally a garage), a patio area immediately abuts the rear of the property and there is a sun terrace which is positioned to benefit from as much sun as possible. There is a second patio halfway down the garden with a BBQ area with power and lighting and a wooden summer house. At the end of the garden, there is a veg patch, complete with a glass house, wooden storage shed and direct access into the Highwoods country park via a gate.

Ipswich Road has long been considered one of Colchester's most sought after areas. Located to the north of the city it benefits from easy access to the A12 and North Station, with its direct links to London Liverpoool Street in under an hour. This popular residential area also has the added bonus of good local primary and secondary schools, a parade of shops, a post office, Waitrose and the Tesco Superstore. It is also on a major bus route into town and the local petrol station also benefits from a Marks and Spencers.

Solar Panels were installed in 2011 and benefit from a secured feed-in tariff until 2036. This produces an average tax free income annually in the region of £1,200.
