Set in the heart of Lexden in one of the most sought after roads, built around 1876 and it is an elegant and distinctive family home. It sits on a substantial plot, approximately 0.2 acre, on the corner of Cambridge Road and Queens Road. The front on the former and the drive entrance on the later. The house is approximately 3,301 sq ft. A very deceptive property that gives totally different impressions of its size depending on whether you are looking at the front on Cambridge Road or the side on Queens Road.
Our vendors have extended the kitchen and added a single storey extension above, that now provides a luxurious family bathroom. On the first floor they have created a master suite with en-suite and dressing room.
This home has been updated and decorated to a very high standard and quality finish using colour schemes that complement its original heritage. With the tall ceilings and large windows each room feels light and airy.
The accommodation is set over four levels. Ground floor comprises: entrance vestibule leading to a spacious and light entrance hall, large dining room with dual aspect windows and feature fireplace, sitting room/study, drawing room that leads through to the garden room facing onto the garden, downstairs cloakroom and access to the cellar (the cellar has generous height ceilings and plenty of storage and perfect for wine), kitchen/breakfast room with an abundance of eye and low level storage, integrated appliances and range cooker, generous amounts of work surfaces and a breakfast bar, separate utility.
First floor comprises; the wide returning staircase to two double bedrooms both with dual aspect windows, high quality family bathroom with walk-in-shower, roll top bath, W.C. and vanity unit, master suite with en-suite shower and dressing room.
Second floor comprises; two double bedrooms, W.C. shower and access to eaves storage.
Externally the driveway provides a generous amount of off street parking. The garden, to the left of the gate on Cambridge Road is approximately 80ft x 60ft.
Location
Walking distance of both grammar schools and all of the independent Lexden schools including Oxford House, St Mary’s and Colchester Prep and High School.
10 minute walk to Crouch Street for everyday essentials and selection of eateries and public houses, then 5 minutes to Colchester City Centre
History
Little is known about the history of Cambridge Lodge but it’s size, character, individual style and generous size plot does suggest that amongst its owners may have been wealthy businessmen and/or senior officers in the army (as other houses in the road have been).
