Details

Boydens are delighted to present this beautifully maintained four-bedroom semi-detached family home, ideally situated in the highly sought-after Riverside area. The property offers convenient access to both Castle Park and Colchester’s vibrant city centre, all within walking distance.
The home features a garage conversion, currently arranged as a home office. With the addition of a Murphy Bed (a bed that folds into a cupboard) and the adjoining bathroom, this versatile space could easily serve as an independent bedroom, ideal for a teenager or relative seeking privacy.

The property is entered via a stylish composite front door leading into a welcoming hallway with stairs to the first floor. To the rear, a spacious and well-appointed kitchen/dining area offers excellent storage, ample work surfaces, and integrated appliances. Patio doors and windows flood the space with natural light and open directly onto the landscaped rear garden, complete with a large patio and pergola—perfect for year-round outdoor dining and entertaining.

Bi-fold doors connect the dining area to the elegant lounge, which is centred around an attractive fireplace and enjoys a front-aspect outlook. A further door leads through to the converted office/bedroom with its private en-suite bathroom, creating a highly flexible living arrangement.

Upstairs, the first floor comprises a generous landing with built-in storage, two double bedrooms, and a further single bedroom. The recently refurbished shower room boasts a contemporary suite with a walk-in shower and stylish slate-effect tiling.

Externally, the property provides off-road parking for at least three vehicles. A side gate gives access to the landscaped rear garden, which features a large patio, artificial lawn, timber shed, and pergola, creating a low-maintenance yet inviting outdoor retreat.

The property is located on the Riverside Estate, which was originally built in the late 1960s/early 1970s, and is ideally located to allow easy access to the city with its vast array of shops, restaurants, facilities, and Colchester’s historic Castle Park. The development has access (via Ipswich Road) to the A12 corridor and is equidistant to North Station with its direct links to London’s Liverpool Street in under an hour and the Town and Hythe train stations.
