Set on a peaceful close in Stanway, this two-bedroom semi-detached house offers a calm and practical arrangement of space, with a generous living area, private garden and open outlook to the rear. The interiors are light and unfussy, creating a comfortable home that is both functional and quietly inviting.<br/><br/><b>The Property</b> - The house is approached via a small enclosed front garden, lending a sense of arrival before stepping into the entrance hall. From here, this home opens into a surprisingly generous sitting room that runs the full depth of the house. Timber effect flooring adds warmth underfoot, while a large rear window frames views of the garden and draws in a soft, even light. The proportions allow for both relaxed seating and dining, giving the room a flexible, sociable quality.<br/><br/>To the rear, the kitchen is neatly arranged in a U-shape, with pale cabinetry paired with darker work surfaces. A wide window sits above the sink, looking out onto the garden, while a glazed door provides direct access outside. The space feels practical and well-lit, with a simple, functional layout suited to everyday use.<br/><br/>Upstairs, two double bedrooms sit either side of the landing. The principal bedroom is particularly well-proportioned, with built-in wardrobes spanning one wall and a calm, muted palette that enhances the sense of rest. The second bedroom is also a comfortable double, adaptable as a guest room, nursery or workspace. A centrally positioned bathroom serves both rooms, finished with full-height tiling and a bath with overhead shower.<br/><br/><b>The Outside</b> - The rear garden is enclosed and thoughtfully arranged, combining a paved terrace with a lawn beyond. The patio sits directly outside the kitchen, creating a natural extension of the interior during warmer months-well suited to outdoor dining or quiet evenings.<br/><br/>Beyond, the lawn stretches to the rear boundary, where a timber shed provides useful storage. The garden backs onto allotments, offering an unexpectedly open and green outlook that enhances both privacy and a connection to nature.<br/><br/>To the front, a small fenced garden softens the approach, while a garage en bloc provides additional storage or parking nearby.<br/><br/><b>The Area</b> - Montbretia Close lies within Stanway, a popular residential area to the west of Colchester, known for its balance of convenience and access to open space. The surrounding neighbourhood has a settled, community-led feel, with a mix of family homes and green pockets.<br/><br/>Tollgate Retail Park is close by, offering a wide range of shops, supermarkets and eateries, while Colchester’s historic centre—with its independent shops, galleries and restaurants—is easily reached.<br/><br/>Transport connections are strong, with the A12 providing direct routes towards London and the coast. Colchester North Station offers regular services to London Liverpool Street, making this a practical location for commuters.<br/><br/>The area is also well served by local schools and nearby countryside walks, giving it a well-rounded, lifestyle-focused appeal.<br/><br/><b>Further Information</b> - Tenure - Freehold <br/>Council Tax - Colchester Band B<br/>Construction - Brick <br/>Mains Gas, Sewerage, Electricity and Water<br/>Sellers position - needs to secure an onward purchase<br/><br/>Mobile Coverage<br/>EE Good outdoor and in-home<br/>There is a good chance of getting a connection good enough to support mobile services in a typical home, as well as outdoors.<br/>O2 Good outdoor and in-home<br/>There is a good chance of getting a connection good enough to support mobile services in a typical home, as well as outdoors.<br/>3 Good outdoor and in-home<br/>There is a good chance of getting a connection good enough to support mobile services in a typical home, as well as outdoors.<br/>Vodafone Good outdoor and in-home<br/>There is a good chance of getting a connection good enough to support mobile services in a typical home, as well as outdoors.<br/><br/>Broadband Coverage<br/>Broadband typeHighest available download speedHighest available upload speedAvailability<br/>Standard3 Mbps0.5 MbpsGood<br/>Superfast56 Mbps14 MbpsGood<br/>Ultrafast1800 Mbps220 MbpsGood<br/>Networks in your area - Openreach, Virgin Media<br/><br/>
