Guide Price £425,000---£450,000---Boydens are pleased to present this three-bedroom detached chalet-style property, set on a generous plot just outside the village of Ardleigh, with convenient access to both Colchester and Manningtree.

This property presents an excellent opportunity for buyers seeking a home to renovate and personalise. Requiring modernisation throughout, it offers a solid footprint with great potential for enhancement or extension (subject to planning permission).

The accommodation begins with a spacious entrance hallway featuring a staircase to the first floor, along with a cloakroom and a separate ground-floor shower room. To the front of the property is a well-proportioned lounge with dual bay windows providing a bright front aspect. A separate dining room adjoins the kitchen, which in turn opens into a utility area with an additional shower room—these areas are in need of updating but offer excellent scope for reconfiguration.

The first floor comprises two double bedrooms, a single bedroom, and a separate WC. The upper level also enjoys stunning panoramic views over the surrounding farmland, adding to the property’s rural charm.

Externally, the home benefits from a substantial 48ft garage/workshop with an adjoining carport, offering excellent storage or workspace. The gardens are primarily located to the sides and front of the property, with the rear boundary backing directly onto open fields, providing a tranquil countryside backdrop.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a property with significant development potential in a desirable semi-rural setting. Early viewing is strongly recommended to fully appreciate the possibilities on offer.
