'Kingsford Cottage' is a stunning three-bedroom semi-detached property, built in 1840 and offering a wealth of character and charm, whilst residing on a generous plot of approximately 2/3 of an acre with beautiful matured gardens. Located to the south of Colchester with excellent access to the A12, good local schooling and nearby local amenities.
Inside the property, the entrance hall leads to the living room which features double aspects windows and a gas fireplace and a formal double aspect dining room which also has a gas fireplace. The kitchen/breakfast room is located to the rear of the property and offers a range of units with granite worktops and high-quality NEFF appliances.
To the first floor there are three bedrooms, two of which have in-built wardrobes with third bedroom currently being used as an office. The family bathroom has been refurbished to a high standard and now offers a stylish four-piece bathroom suite with underfloor heating.
As previously mentioned, the property enjoys a fabulous plot with stunning gardens to the front and rear. The current owners have meticulously landscaped the garden and it now offers a large patio area to the rear of the property which is suntrap and the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee or a fine wine in the evening. From here a pathway leads to the rest of the garden where a large lawn area can be found with a variety of established trees and plants, as well as large pond. In this area there is also a summerhouse, BBQ area and your very own vegetable patch.
The property also comes with two outbuildings, one a detached garage which measures 22ft in length and has power and light. The second is a useful brick-built outbuilding which consists of an outdoor WC, large storage cupboard and a home office or studio space which has underfloor heating. An ideal space for any prospective purchaser needing a space from which to work.
A rare find in Colchester with an abundance of character and beautiful grounds, internal viewings are highly advised.
