4 bedroom detached house for sale

Boydens are pleased to present this spacious four-bedroom family home in need of updating throughout, ideally situated on the south side of Colchester, just off Abbotts Road.

The property is accessed via a double-glazed entrance door leading into a welcoming hallway, which includes a cloakroom and stairs rising to the first floor. To the right, a front-facing fitted kitchen offers side access and would benefit from modernisation, providing an excellent opportunity for personalisation.

At the rear of the property, a generously sized lounge with French doors seamlessly flows into the dining area, creating an open-plan living space. The room is bathed in natural light through large windows and patio doors, which lead directly to the rear garden.
Upstairs, the first floor comprises a well-appointed master bedroom featuring fitted wardrobes and an en-suite shower room. Three additional bedrooms and a family bathroom complete the accommodation.

Externally, the home offers off-road parking to the front, leading to a double garage. A side gate provides access to the enclosed rear garden, which features established flowerbed borders and a patio area, ideal for outdoor entertaining.

While the property would benefit from some updating, it offers great potential and is available chain-free.

Location: Mountbatten Drive is a sought-after residential area on the southern edge of Colchester, within easy reach of the vibrant city centre and the popular Mersea Island.
