THE PROPERTY
13 Manor Close is a 1970s home which was cleverly renovated and extended in 2017 and now provides spacious, contemporary family accommodation.
The 2900 square foot property is positioned at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac on a plot that measures around a fifth of an acre, with a garden that faces south and plenty of parking.
THE ACCOMMODATION
The ground floor orientates around a substantial and most impressive kitchen/dining/living room which measures just over thirty feet (at best) and enjoys an outlook to the garden via aluminium bi-fold doors.
The kitchen area features stone surfaces, a large island/breakfast bar, two ovens, an electric hob, a dishwasher and a wine fridge. The adjoining reception space is easily large enough for several large sofas and a twelve-person dining table if required; it shares the use of a gas fire which is double-fronted to an adjoining formal sitting room.
Further ground floor accommodation includes an entrance hall, a two-person study, a large playroom (potential fifth bedroom), a utility room (with lots of storage and appliance space), and a WC.
On the first floor, the master bedroom has its own en-suite shower room, (with a good-sized shower) and a walk-in wardrobe. There are three additional bedrooms which share a family bathroom that is fitted with both a bath and a large shower.
GROUNDS & OUTBUILDINGS
Patio and bi-fold doors open onto the south facing garden from the living room and kitchen/dining room, and these open onto a private, south-facing stone patio which spans the width of the house.
Most of the 65ft garden is laid to lawn albeit with mature shrubs (in raised beds) lining the boundary and various trees which help to maintain privacy; these include an impressive oak tree on the rear boundary.
A detached garage (with power and Cat 6 cabling) sits at the front of the property; this would be suitable for conversion into a home office subject to planning. A gated, tarmacked and granite set driveway provides parking for up to six cars.
LOCATION
Manor close is a quiet residential cul-de-sac in the village of Great Horkesley near Colchester. Within walking distance, buyers will find two village pubs (which both serve food) and a village shop. Bishop William Ward Primary School is only 500m from the house.
Historic Colchester has all necessary amenities including a range of secondary schools and colleges, a thriving City centre, and a mainline train station which is just 2.5 miles from the front door.
