House For Sale £495,000
Wellesley Road, Lexden, Colchester CO3

This imposing three/four bedroom, three storey, bay fronted, Victorian, semi detached residence is set back from Wellesley Road on what was once known as Blatch Street, a private square planted with ornamental trees in the 1860s. Although the square has long gone, replaced by schooling and residential housing, the space provides this property with four parking spaces. This spacious dwelling has been owned by the present family for over forty years, and much of the original character features have been retained. The property benefits from a large living room with a bay window to the front, a downstairs bathroom, and a kitchen/diner with French doors that open into a sun room, which in turn, opens onto a raised patio. Upstairs, two double bedrooms with cloakroom facilities can be found on each floor. Modernisation would be required throughout. Chain free.

Wellelsey Road has long been considered as one of Colchester’s most desirable roads. From here, the town and Crouch Street's shopping parade are within reach. A choice of excellent schooling facilities, including Colchester Hign School, The Girls High School, Royal Grammar, Oxford House, St Mary's, and the Sixth Form College, can easily be accessed. Colchester's North Station is also less than a mile away, and London's Liverpool Street can be reached within fifty minutes. The property also enjoys excellent access to the A12, southbound at Junction 27, and north and southbound at Junction 26.
