MODERNISATION REQUIRED--- This truly charming, four-bedroom, two reception, detached home is located in a most favoured position just to the west of Colchester. A character property constructed in approximately 1926, whilst the present owners have been in residence since 1969 (50 years). In this time the property has been modernised, cared for, and improved making this the ultimate family find. The accommodation is set out over two floors with the ground floor comprising an entrance hall, 18'1" living room, kitchen, second reception, conservatory/sun lounge, rear lobby, utility cupboard, and cloakroom. The first floor continues off the landing with four bedrooms and a family bathroom/WC.

An opportunity to view should be made at your earliest convenience to avoid genuine disappointment.
