6 bedroom detached house for sale

*GUIDE PRICE £550,000-£575,000* Located on the ever-popular Westlands estate in Colchester's CO3 postcode, this substantial five/six bedroom detached home offers flexible, well-proportioned accommodation across three floors, ideal for families needing space to grow, work, and relax. The property has been thoughtfully reconfigured over time, creating a modern layout that centres around a generous 25' kitchen/diner – a true hub of the home – with direct access to the rear garden.

The kitchen is well-equipped for busy family life, offering ample storage with a range of wall and base units, modern work surfaces, an inset stainless steel sink/drainer, space for a double oven, washing machine, and a double fridge freezer. There's plenty of room for a large dining table, making it a practical and sociable space. To the front of the house, the main lounge is set just off a spacious entrance hallway and provides a comfortable setting to unwind. A ground floor W/C adds convenience.

One of the key features of this home is its versatility. In addition to the main reception rooms, there are two further rooms on the ground floor that can serve as offices, guest bedrooms, or hobby spaces. One of these was formerly the garage and has been converted by the current owners, providing additional internal space that adapts well to modern living.

Upstairs, the first floor offers four bedrooms and a main family bathroom, while the top floor is now home to a well-designed master suite with a stylish en-suite shower room. The layout makes the most of the available space and offers flexibility for families of all sizes.

Outside, the property has driveway parking to the front and a sizeable rear garden that is both private and enclosed, ideal for children or outdoor entertaining.

The location is a major draw. The Westlands estate is well regarded for its access to highly rated local schooling, including excellent primary and secondary options, and it's also within reach of Colchester’s well-known grammar schools. Westlands Country Park is just a short walk away, offering open green space, woodland walks and a play area – a great local amenity for families and those who enjoy time outdoors. Local shops, supermarkets, and other day-to-day amenities are all nearby, with both the town centre and Tollgate Retail Park within easy reach. Road links are strong, with access to the A12, and Colchester North Station provides regular rail services to London.

The property also benefits from Solar panels and an EV charging point.

This is a well-located, adaptable home that offers the space and layout many families are looking for, with the added benefit of a strong community setting and excellent local facilities.
