3 Bedroom Detached House

Guide Price £270,000 - £280,000. This well-balanced three-bedroom house sits on Meyrick Crescent, a quiet residential street to the south of Colchester. The interiors have been thoughtfully updated, combining practical modern finishes with a restrained, neutral aesthetic. Of particular note is the generous ground-floor layout and the depth of the garden, which offers a variety of uses across its length. The house extends to approximately 1,033 sq ft and is well suited to both family life and flexible working from home.

The Property - Entry is into a bright and open sitting room that runs the full depth of the house. Herringbone flooring brings warmth and texture, complemented by soft, neutral tones and a simple palette. The space is arranged to allow for both seating and reading areas, with the staircase set neatly to one side.

To the rear, the kitchen has been modernised with clean-lined cabinetry and integrated appliances, arranged in an L-shape to maximise workspace. Pendant lighting and timber-edged worktops introduce a softer, more domestic feel, while large windows draw in good natural light. A small dining area sits comfortably within this space.

Beyond the kitchen is a utility room and a spacious ground-floor bathroom. The bathroom has been finished with large-format tiles and includes a freestanding bath, walk-in shower and matte black fittings, giving it a contemporary feel.

Upstairs, the first floor is arranged around a central landing. There are three bedrooms, each simply finished with light walls and good natural light. The principal bedroom spans the width of the house, while the remaining rooms offer flexibility for guest accommodation, children’s rooms or a study.

The Outside - The rear garden is a particular strength, extending to a notable depth and arranged in distinct sections. Immediately outside the house is a paved terrace, leading to a central lawn bordered by gravelled areas and planting.

Mature trees provide shade and structure, while a garden studio sits at the far end, offering potential as a workspace, hobby room or additional storage. A secondary shed provides further practical storage.

To the front, the house is set behind a small gravelled garden with a low boundary fence, giving a simple and low-maintenance approach.

The Area - Meyrick Crescent is positioned to the south of Colchester city centre, within easy reach of a range of everyday amenities. The nearby neighbourhood offers local shops, schools and green spaces, while the city centre provides a broader mix of independent cafés, restaurants and cultural venues.

Colchester North and Colchester Town stations are both accessible, offering direct services to London Liverpool Street in under an hour, making the area a practical choice for commuters. The surrounding countryside and coastline are also within easy reach, with Dedham Vale and the Suffolk coast providing opportunities for walking and outdoor pursuits.
