This double storey extended and immaculately presented five-bedroom, three-bathroom semi-detached family home is arranged over three floors, including a substantial loft conversion, and offers just under 2,000 sq ft of internal accommodation. Situated on the quiet cul-de-sac of Crome Close in the highly regarded Prettygate area of Colchester, the property enjoys convenient access to high-performing primary and secondary schools, local amenities and excellent transport links.
