3 bed detached house for sale

Frating, Essex CO7

****this isn't on 'that' other property website! That's why you're smiling right now****

Patrick James are excited to introduce this beautifully presented three-bedroom, detached family home, set in the highly desirable village of Frating. This charming village offers a wonderful blend of local amenities and community spirit, while Colchester’s historic and vibrant city centre is just a short drive away. For commuters, the A120 is close at hand, providing excellent links to nearby towns, the coast, and beyond. A fantastic opportunity to secure a spacious family home in a sought-after location.

Step through the double-glazed entrance door and into the welcoming reception hall, where a tiled floor sets the tone and a built-in cloak cupboard keeps everything neatly tucked away. From here, stairs rise to the first floor, while a door opens to the handy cloakroom, fitted with a wash hand basin and low-level W.C., complete with a front-facing window.

Moving into the lounge, a bright front window fills the space with light, complemented by warm oak-finish flooring. The room flows seamlessly into the dining area, where patio doors invite you through to the conservatory — a charming spot with brick and glazed construction and French doors that open directly onto the garden.

Back through the dining space, we arrive at the kitchen — a well-appointed, modern design featuring solid oak fronted cabinets, ample work surfaces, and integrated appliances including an electric hob with extractor above and oven below. There’s plumbing in place for both washing machine and dishwasher, while a servery connects conveniently to the dining room. A door from here also leads you straight out into the garden.

Upstairs, the first floor landing provides access to the loft and a useful airing cupboard, with a window to the side keeping things light.

The main bedroom enjoys a rear aspect and fitted wardrobes, with direct access into the cleverly reconfigured Jack & Jill bathroom. This spacious bathroom — originally two rooms now combined — offers both style and practicality, with a panelled bath, drench-head shower, pedestal basin and W.C., finished with natural stone tiling.

The second bedroom, overlooking the front, also benefits from a built-in wardrobe, while the third bedroom makes an ideal single room, nursery, or study, again with a fitted wardrobe and front outlook.

Outside, the home enjoys a front lawn with parking spaces to either side, and a further side area with hedging that holds potential for additional parking. The rear garden is a private and secure space, enclosed by a high-level brick wall, mainly laid to lawn with a patio area, mature shrubs, and a delightful pergola for outdoor seating.
