An Extended, Improved & Re-Imagined Bay-Fronted Period Home

Old Heath Road, Colchester, CO2

Location:

Situated on the ever-popular Old Heath Road in the CO2 postcode, the property enjoys close proximity to a wide range of useful local amenities, everyday shops, and excellent transport links. A regular bus network provides easy access into Colchester city centre, while a choice of well-regarded primary and secondary schools are nearby. The charming waterfront village of Rowhedge is also within easy reach, offering local independent pubs and riverside walks.

Property:

The home opens into a welcoming entrance hall showcasing original exposed brickwork, herringbone flooring, and a luxury carpeted staircase. A cleverly incorporated under-stairs seating area provides both style and practicality, with access through to the formal reception room. Wet underfloor heating runs through the hallway, wet room, extension, and utility room, adding everyday comfort.

The formal reception room is warm and inviting, centred around a handsome bay window featuring a striking stained-glass detail. A column radiator beneath the bay enhances the period feel, making this an ideal space for relaxing or entertaining.

To the rear of the home lies the focal point of the property: an impressive extended kitchen, dining, and entertaining space. Finished to a high specification, this space features granite worktops, LVT flooring, and a full range of integrated AEG appliances including a microwave, single oven, induction hob with extractor, dishwasher, integrated fridge, and separate integrated freezer. Additional highlights include a boiling water tap, wine fridge, and built-in Lithe Audio Bluetooth ceiling speakers. Bi-folding doors and a large roof light flood the room with natural light and provide seamless access to the garden. A separate utility room offers additional storage and plumbing for appliances.

Also on the ground floor is a stylish contemporary wet room, fitted with a walk-in rainfall shower with mosaic tiling, brushed brass fittings, wall-hung WC, and a floating vanity with designer basin. Finished with midnight steel (blue-toned) tiles and warm wood accents, the space offers a modern, spa-like feel.

Upstairs, the property offers a well-appointed contemporary bathroom featuring a freestanding bath set against striking green tiled walls, a wall-mounted basin with chrome fittings, and a modern WC. White finishes, wood-effect flooring, and excellent natural light create a fresh and elegant space.

The main bedroom and second bedroom are both comfortable double rooms, each benefiting from wall-mounted bedside lighting. A spacious third bedroom provides flexibility as a child’s room, nursery, or dressing room.

Outside:

The south-west facing rear garden has been landscaped to a high specification, featuring porcelain tiled seating areas and a split-level design with a raised lawn. Practical features include side access, an external tap, and a rear gate providing access next to the garage.

The property further benefits from a double garage with electric doors, full power, and parking to the rear.
