4 bed bungalow for sale

Ardleigh Road, Dedham, Colchester, Essex CO7

Set along Ardleigh Road in the highly regarded village of Dedham, this detached bungalow occupies a generous plot of approximately 0.38 acres (sts) and presents a rare opportunity to acquire a home with versatile living space and scope for a variety of uses, and a recently constructed detached annexe. Additionally, there is full planning for a replacement dwelling under Colchester Planning reference 241930.

The property is entered via a welcoming hallway which leads into a generous living and dining room. This bright, triple-aspect space features French doors opening onto the garden, together with a central fireplace creating a focal point for the room. The kitchen is well-proportioned, fitted with a range of units and work surfaces, and offers direct access to the outside. A separate study provides an ideal space for home working or hobbies, while a cloakroom completes the living accommodation.
The bungalow offers three well-proportioned bedrooms, each with views to the gardens and flexible space for family use or guests. The main bedroom is a generous double, while the further two rooms provide scope for additional bedrooms, a dressing room, or home office if required. The family bathroom is fitted with a four-piece suite including a bath and separate shower, complemented by part-panelled walls and a rear-facing window providing natural light.
The property sits within a generous plot of approximately 0.38 acres (sts), offering a wide range of outdoor opportunities. To the rear, the east-facing gardens are predominantly laid to lawn with mature trees, planting, and a dedicated kitchen garden currently home to a chicken coop and beehive. There are various seating areas, providing space to relax and enjoy the outlook, while a number of outbuildings offer scope for storage or conversion to a home office if desired.
A recently constructed detached annexe complements the main residence, providing excellent additional accommodation. The annexe comprises a bright kitchen/family room, a cosy snug, a double bedroom, and a bathroom, creating an entirely self-contained space ideal for multi-generational living, guest accommodation, or as a potential rental opportunity.
