Boydens are pleased to bring to the market this three-bedroom detached bungalow situated on a sought-after road to the west of Colchester city centre. This charming property has been in the same family's ownership for generations, offering a rare opportunity for prospective buyers.

Upon entering the property, you are welcomed by a well-proportioned lounge, complete with a central fireplace and a bay window to the front aspect, creating a warm and inviting space. From the lounge, the hallway leads to the open-plan kitchen/dining area, which is equipped with fitted base and eye-level units incorporating a sink, freestanding oven and hob. This space benefits from windows overlooking the rear garden and a convenient side door.

The property comprises three good-sized bedrooms, all serviced by a family bathroom featuring a bath with shower over, WC, and pedestal wash hand basin. An additional internal store, formerly the family bathroom before a later extension, provides extra storage space but could be re-purposed as a utility room or bathroom.

Externally, the bungalow boasts superb curb appeal, set back from the road and offering ample parking for multiple vehicles. The rear garden is mainly laid to lawn and is framed by mature trees and shrubs, providing a green and tranquil setting.

This property presents significant development potential, as the neighbouring property to the right is a house, and many homes in the surrounding area have undergone extensive extensions in recent years. The space and layout provide ample opportunity for future expansion or renovation.

Shrub End Road is ideally located within easy reach of Colchester's city centre and is within walking distance of a range of local amenities. Just across the road, you'll find a Boots pharmacy and a One Stop shop, ensuring convenience for daily needs. Additionally, the popular Crouch Street shopping parade is nearby, offering designer shops, a delicatessen, bars, and restaurants, making this an excellent location for families and professionals alike.
