Located in the heart of Lexden is this beautiful and detached, 5-bedroom Edwardian home. Configured over three floors, this remarkable home combines modern style with charming period features including intricate fireplaces and high ceilings. The garden is beautifully manicured and of a good size. This is a truly stunning family home that wants for nothing.
The Property - Built-in 1910, this handsome period home is detached and occupies a sizeable plot in the heart of old Lexden. With a desirable red brick facade, quaint sash windows and an attractive walled front garden, the house is impressive on arrival.
Through the front door and you enter the entrance hall. To the right, and at the heart of the house, is this stunning open-plan kitchen/dining room. There are fully fitted modern integrated appliances, wooden style flooring and ample space for both dining and relaxing. The garden and sitting room can also be accessed from the kitchen via bifolding doors.
There is a separate utility room and guest cloakroom.
On the opposite side of the property are a further two reception rooms. Light floods into the living room from the large bay window and high ceilings create a real sense of light and space. Wooden flooring and an ornate period fireplace perfectly compliment contemporary decor to create the perfect environment to unwind at the end of the day. Adjacent, there is a second reception room which is currently being used as the perfect working from home office space. This room has beautiful and unique double doors which open onto the front garden.
On the first floor, there are three sizeable double bedrooms and a modern bathroom with an exceptional finish. The bathroom boasts pretty and unusual floor tiles, with a fully tiled walk-in double shower and bath.
Upstairs, you are presented with a further two bedrooms and another bathroom. The principal bedroom is generously sized, bathed in natural light from the three large skylights and benefits from having not only in-built storage but also a separate dressing room. The fifth bedroom would make a fantastic guest suite, benefitting from an ensuite bathroom with a second shower, WC and basin.
The Outside - The beautifully manicured rear garden basks in sunshine throughout the day. There is a paved patio area perfect for outside dining with steps leading onto a raised area laid to lawn. The garden is of a good size and easy to maintain and benefits from a large outbuilding which has power and is insulated.
The Area - This family home is positioned in the highly sought-after and exceptionally well-regarded area of Lexden. Lexden is renowned for its beautiful tree-lined roads, stunning period homes and quiet residential community ethos. The area is within striking distance of Colchester's town centre, with its abundance of restaurants, bars and shops enabling residents to enjoy the best of both worlds.
Not only that but there are numerous outstanding schools within the area, both primary and secondary including Hamilton Primary school and both the Grammar schools. Colchester's mainline railway is within easy reach, where you can be in London Liverpool Street within an hour. The town is well connected with various bus routes and the A12 is a stone's throw away.
