Welcome to a captivating Victorian gem nestled in the heart of Lexden, a highly coveted area in Colchester. This semi-detached, three / four bedroom home is a harmonious blend of period charm and modern elegance. It is an ideal haven for families seeking a blend of character rich style, comfort, and local convenience.
As you approach this handsome box bay fronted red-brick home, you are greeted by a charming façade adorned with quaint sash bay windows and a lush laurel hedge, offering an excellent sense of privacy.
Step inside, and you are greeted by a spacious entrance hall with 2.5m ceiling height, decorated cornices and stained glassed door. This leads you to a light-filled living room at the front, a well proportioned and flexible second reception behind and the large open-plan kitchen / breakfast room at the rear.
The living room has a large bay window which, combined with those high ceilings, creates an airy ambiance, while the feature (gas) fireplace and wooden-style flooring add a touch of warmth and sophistication.
Adjacent to the living room, you'll find a versatile family room generously proportioned to accommodate a variety of uses. With ample natural light and built-in cabinets, it's a perfect space for work or study.
The heart of the home, however, is the superb space of the open-plan kitchen/breakfast room. Equipped with modern appliances and sleek tiled flooring, this space is perfect for both culinary adventures and family gatherings. French doors here lead directly to the well manicured garden, inviting the outdoors in. The practical utility room and separate shower room complete the ground floor accommodation.
The first floor houses three generously-sized bedrooms and a modern bathroom. The principal bedroom and second bedrooms are particularly spacious, promising restful nights. The third bedroom at the rear is not shy either and has a lovely outlook over the rear garden, its own stylish fireplace, shelving and an airing cupboard.
The top floor presents a guest (fourth) bedroom, bathed in natural light from the skylight, offering flexibility for guest accommodation, a playroom or easily accessible essential storage.
Step outside to the rear garden and you will find a verdant oasis perfect for summer entertaining. The garden is really well maintained, with a variety of herbaceous and perennial plants and a path leading to the garage that sits at the rear of the plot (entire width). The garage, equipped with lighting and power, offers space for parking.
