House For Sale £450,000
Centrally located in Lexden, Colchester, this extended 3 bedrooms, 3 reception, Edwardian semi-detached home retains many of its original period features whilst having modern kitchen and bathroom suites. The large garden is south-westerly facing and benefits from side access via a shared drive.
The Property
Ground floor;
This handsome Edwardian home with a red brick facade and quaint sash bay windows is impressive on arrival.
Through the front door, you enter the entrance hall. To the left, is the dining room which opens up onto the living room. Light floods into both rooms from the large sash bay window, which combined with the wooden floors there is a real sense of light and space. Both receptions benefit from period features including an ornate fireplace and ceiling roses. The dining room has views of the courtyard which is currently being used for storing bikes and benefits from built-in storage under the stairs.
Directly off of the dining room is the galley style kitchen that benefits from direct garden access and a W/C come utility room. The kitchen was recently refitted and comprises white/grey marble worktops along with handleless under counter units. There is ample natural light and the kitchen leads seamlessly to the 3rd reception room that is currently being used as a family room/dining room. This sunny, spacious room is south-westerly facing and enjoys unoverlooked views of the garden with direct access via double doors. The family room benefits from a recently installed log burner which provides the perfect ambience for entertaining whilst effectively heating the room.
First floor;
Access to the first floor is gained via the hallway. On the first floor, you will find the principal bedroom at the front of the property which is of a generous size and has a bay window, wooden flooring and a fireplace. There is ample room to add inbuilt storage should any new owner wish to do so. Bedroom two is adjacent to the principal bedroom and enjoys scenic views of the garden. This double bedroom is of a generous size and has built-in shelving, carpeted flooring and a feature fireplace. Bedroom 3 is located to the rear of the property and has garden views with ample natural lighting thanks to its south-westerly aspect. The family bathroom enjoys a full bath with an overhead shower, W/C and basin. This room is finished in neutral grey tiling and has the added benefit of an outwards opening window.
The Outside
The garden provides the perfect space to entertain in the summer months. There is an area laid to gravel off of the family room which is perfect for entertaining whilst the rest of the space is mainly laid to lawn which is currently being enjoyed by the young family that resides here. There is a mixture of herbaceous and perennial plants and sunshine can be enjoyed throughout the day as it faces south-westerly.
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 city 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 (located on the road) and both the Grammar schools. Colchester's mainline railway is within easy reach, where you can be in London Liverpool Street within the hour. The town is well connected with various bus routes and the A12 is a stone's throw away.
