Memorial Way, Ardleigh, Colchester, Essex CO4

A smart and thoughtfully presented two-bedroom semi-detached home, offering an easy balance of practical accommodation and considered interiors. The house has been given plenty of personality, from the fitted cabinetry and warm decorative touches in the sitting room to the bright kitchen/dining space overlooking the garden.

To the rear, the kitchen/dining room extends across the width of the house and forms the natural everyday hub. The kitchen is fitted with a clean run of white cabinetry, timber-effect work surfaces and integrated cooking appliances, with space alongside for a dining table. A window above the sink brings in good natural light, while glazed doors open directly onto the rear garden - particularly useful through the warmer months.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom is a comfortable double with its own en-suite shower room. There is a further bedrooms, currently arranged as a particularly charming nursery with fitted wardrobes.

The rear garden is enclosed and has been arranged to offer several distinct areas without becoming overly formal. Glazed doors from the kitchen open onto a patterned paved terrace, while a further gravelled seating area sits beneath a simple timber pergola with climbing plants.

The remainder is predominantly laid to lawn, bordered by established shrubs and planting, and there is a useful timber garden shed tucked to one side. Altogether, it is a manageable garden with enough room for children, entertaining and outdoor seating without demanding excessive upkeep.

The Area
Memorial Way forms part of a modern residential setting in Ardleigh, a well-placed Essex village to the north-east of Colchester.

For a broader choice of shopping, leisure and schooling, Colchester is readily accessible, while the property's position is also convenient for travelling towards Manningtree and the Dedham Vale. Manningtree railway station provides mainline services towards London Liverpool Street, making the area a practical option for those needing wider commuter connections.
