Lexden Road, Colchester, CO3 3SP

Part of our Signature collection, located on one of Colchester’s most sought after roads, within walking distance of excellent schools and the city centre, is this extended property with a delightful southerly facing walled garden.

This is a rare opportunity to buy a house, which is coming to the market for the first time since 1974, has excellent ground floor accommodation with the study adjoining the shower room giving the potential for a guest bedroom or annexe. At the front of the house is ample parking with an integral double garage.

The entrance door opens to a central reception hall with staircase leading to the first floor accommodation with useful storage beneath. At the end of the hall is a door to the garage and the shower room. The shower room is adjoining the large study which has been used as an annexe bedroom in the past with a cupboard, built-in desk with storage and patio doors to the garden.

The sitting room has been extended to create a square room with dual aspect and patio doors out to the garden. There is a feature fireplace with gas fire and doors lead to the hall and dining room, again with a dual aspect.

The kitchen/breakfast room, at the front of the house, has space for a table and is fitted to three walls with worksurfaces and ample base and wall cupboards. Built in appliances include a 4 ring gas hob, double oven and dishwasher. There is space for a fridge/freezer. A door leads to the utility room with a stainless steel sink and drainer, space and plumbing for a washing machine, space for a tumble dryer, shelved cupboard and further recess store. A door leads to an outside covered area and brick built workshop.

On the first floor is a large landing with two double door shelved cupboards and access into the roof space. The principle bedroom overlooks the rear garden and has a range of built-in bedroom furniture and ensuite shower room. There are two further double bedrooms with the fourth being a good sized single. The main bathroom has a panelled bath with independent shower above, vanity unit with ample storage and wash hand basin, toilet, airing cupboard and a heated towel rail.
