Tucked away on Skye Hall Hill in Boxted, this Edwardian semi-detached villa blends period character with practical family living. High ceilings, a bay-fronted living room and a conservatory create bright, adaptable reception spaces that flow to the garden. The extended kitchen/breakfast room and separate utility make daily life straightforward, while a ground-floor shower room adds convenience for family or guests.
Upstairs provides three well-proportioned bedrooms served by a family bathroom and separate WC; rear bedrooms enjoy open, south-facing views over the surrounding countryside. Outside, a mature, south-facing garden with screening and a detached workshop offers private outdoor space and storage for hobbies or home working.
The property is well presented but retains older construction features: solid brick walls and oil-fired central heating. These aspects mean buyers should budget for modernisation if improved insulation or a different heating fuel is desired. The exterior shows typical period wear and will benefit from ongoing maintenance to preserve character features.
Well suited to a family seeking village life within easy reach of Colchester, this home combines character, garden space and practical layout. Its elevated position and quiet lane offer rural tranquillity; straightforward improvements could enhance energy efficiency and long-term running costs.
