A rare opportunity to acquire an individual architect-designed, link-detached five-bedroom home, exceptionally well positioned for commuters and healthcare professionals. The property lies within approximately 10 minutes’ walk of Colchester mainline station and around 3 minutes from Colchester Hospital, while offering generous accommodation, extensive parking, a large double garage and an established south-facing garden.<br/><br/>Designed with space, flexibility and practicality in mind, the property offers an impressive layout ideally suited to modern family life. A substantial driveway provides parking for at least four vehicles and leads to the attached double garage, while a recently constructed entrance porch opens into a welcoming reception hall.<br/><br/>At the heart of the home is the well-appointed kitchen/breakfast room, fitted with an extensive range of units, granite work surfaces and integrated appliances including a Neff oven and combination microwave, Miele dishwasher and five-ring Britannia gas hob. A recently installed water softener and filtered drinking-water system provide further convenience.<br/><br/>The generous lounge is an impressive principal reception space, distinguished by contrasting brick and American oak-stained feature walls. Large windows and patio doors provide excellent natural light and create an attractive connection with the south-facing rear garden.<br/><br/>A further ground-floor room offers excellent versatility as a fifth bedroom, home office or additional reception room. With FTTP connectivity and a shower room/WC conveniently positioned nearby, it is particularly well suited to home working, visiting guests or multigenerational living.<br/><br/>The first floor provides four bedrooms, including a spacious principal bedroom with extensive fitted wardrobes and its own substantial en-suite bathroom. The remaining bedrooms benefit from useful fitted storage, complemented by a separate fully tiled family bathroom.<br/><br/>The home also offers an excellent specification for modern living. Solar panels provide a 4kW output, with more than 10 years remaining on the original Government energy-to-grid payment arrangement and a stated current income of approximately £3,223.75 per annum. The property also benefits from an impressive EPC rating of B (88) and a Viessmann 30kW boiler installed in April 2024.<br/><br/>Security has been carefully considered, with exterior floodlighting and a three-camera CCTV system covering the driveway, front approach, rear doors and windows, complete with recording and app-based remote viewing.<br/><br/>Outside, the south-facing rear garden provides a particularly appealing combination of block-paved entertaining space and established flower and shrub planting. An oak pergola is adorned with a fruiting grapevine and wisteria, while the garden features apple, pear, crab apple and fig trees, scented roses and an attractive slate water feature.<br/><br/>A substantial brick-built garden building with double-glazed windows, glazed UPVC entrance door, lighting and multiple power points provides valuable additional space for storage, hobbies or workshop use.<br/><br/>Combining five-bedroom flexibility, substantial living accommodation, a double garage, parking for at least four vehicles, a south-facing garden, solar energy income and excellent proximity to both Colchester mainline station and Colchester Hospital, this is a distinctive and highly versatile home in an exceptionally convenient location.<br/><br/>Early viewing is strongly recommended to fully appreciate the individuality, flexibility and extensive accommodation this impressive property has to offer.
