Full Description: <p><strong>GUIDE PRICE £220,000-£235,000</strong>. Situated in the popular residential area of Shrub End, Colchester, this well-presented two double bedroom maisonette offers spacious and versatile accommodation, an exceptionally generous two-part rear garden, ample driveway parking and a number of attractive recent improvements. The property has been thoughtfully updated and is presented in a fresh and neutral style throughout, making it an excellent opportunity for a first-time buyer, couple, small family or investor.</p><p>Upon entering the property, you are greeted by a welcoming interior which has benefited from a programme of improvements. The lounge has been redecorated throughout and is a comfortable reception space with plenty of room for a good-sized sofa arrangement and additional furniture. The neutral finish allows the room to be easily personalised by the new owner.</p><p>The kitchen has also been updated and provides a practical and well-equipped space for everyday cooking and dining. There is a good amount of fitted storage and worktop space, together with room for the usual appliances. The kitchen is light and pleasant, with the window providing a good outlook and plenty of natural light.</p><p>The property offers two genuinely good-sized double bedrooms, providing excellent flexibility for a couple, family or those requiring a home office or guest bedroom. Both rooms benefit from the fresh presentation found throughout the property.</p><p>A particular highlight is the brand new family bathroom, which has been finished to a modern and practical standard. The room features a bath with shower over, wash hand basin and low-level WC, with a fully tiled surround providing a smart, contemporary finish. This is a particularly useful improvement for the incoming purchaser, meaning there is little immediate work required.</p><p>The property also benefits from double glazing, helping to create a comfortable home throughout the year.</p><p>Outside, the property offers something rather special for a maisonette, with a very generous two-part rear garden. The garden provides an excellent amount of private outdoor space and offers plenty of room for seating, entertaining, children to play, gardening and outdoor storage. The garden has recently benefited from brand new fencing surrounding the boundaries, giving the space a fresh, secure and enclosed feel.</p><p>To the front, there is a private driveway providing ample off-road parking, which is another excellent benefit and particularly useful for a property of this type. There is also a brick-built shed, which is included with the property and provides useful additional storage for bikes, gardening equipment and general household items.</p><p>The location is a major attraction. Shrub End is a well-established and popular residential area to the south-west of Colchester, offering a good balance between convenient local amenities, schools, recreation and access to the town centre. The property is particularly well placed for everyday shopping, with The Square at Iceni Way providing a useful local shopping parade. Here you will find a Co-op foodstore for groceries and everyday essentials, together with a local pharmacy, fish and chip shop, Chinese takeaway and other services. This means many of the essentials of daily life are available close to home without needing to travel into Colchester town centre.</p><p>There are also further shops and convenience facilities available along Shrub End Road and within the surrounding area, while the larger shopping and leisure facilities of Colchester are easily accessible.</p><p>For families, the area offers a good selection of schooling options. Local choices include King's Ford Infant School and Nursery and King's Ford Academy, with other nearby primary schools including Gosbecks Primary School and St Michael's Primary School & Nursery. For older children, Paxman Academy is situated locally, with further secondary and independent options available elsewhere across Colchester, including Philip Morant School and College and St Benedict's Catholic College. As always, prospective purchasers should make their own enquiries with Essex County Council regarding current catchment areas and admissions.</p>
