Residing towards the Northern outskirts of Colchester's city centre, on the fringes of the popular village of Ardleigh, lies this substantial six bedroom detached family residence, with accommodation evenly distributed over three spacious floors of accommodation, measures in excess of circa 2700 sqft.. Originally a four bedroom home, throughout its much cherished ownership, the property underwent a significant loft conversion, increasing the already spacious accommodation to six bedrooms.
Internally the property offers a wealth of living and bedroom space alike, with highlights of the ground floor comprising of; two generously proportioned reception rooms, a kitchen/breakfast room, seperate utility room and the added benefit of a ground floor cloakroom. Occupying the first floor are four large bedrooms, with an en-suite shower room complimenting the principal bedroom, as well as the added benefit of a separate family bathroom. Completing this exceptional home and situated on the second floor are two further spacious bedrooms, one offering a Juliette balcony. In a previous ownership, one of the bedrooms was utilised as a cinema room.
Outdoor space is offered in abundance, with the private and enclosed rear garden commencing with a large patio area, with the remainder predominately laid to lawn. Boundaries are formed by mature conifer borders, offering maximum privacy. Benefiting from an exceptional plot, both to the front and rear the property could be further enhanced with additional extensions, subject to the relevant planning permissions.
Although Ardleigh by postal address, the property boarders the vibrant and historic city of Colchester, close to an array of useful amenities and on the ideal commuter belt to London city centre. Served by an excellent bus network, providing easy access to Colchester's mainline station and city centre, as well as being in easy reach of Highwoods Square - home to a doctors/dentist surgery and Tesco Extra.
