Set within an impressive Italianate house facing Lexden Park, this three-bedroom duplex penthouse combines period grandeur with contemporary, high-spec finishes. Occupying the top floors, the apartment benefits from high ceilings, sash windows, an ornate fireplace and generous room proportions that have been reconfigured for modern living. Bifold doors open to a private roof terrace with sweeping views over the park and Colchester skyline — ideal for al-fresco dining and quiet evenings.
The layout suits family life and flexible working: a principal suite with a marble en-suite and walk-in dressing room sits above a large reception and an Italian-lacquered kitchen with a central island. Two additional double bedrooms (one currently a study/second sitting room), a useful dry-lined cellar room and two allocated parking spaces add practical everyday convenience. The property is offered with a very long lease (968 years remaining) and a share of freehold.
Buyers should note this is a communal estate within managed grounds. The current service charge is £2,964.64 for a six-month period (includes a one-off £1,500 reserve contribution likely to reduce later). The building and estate management cover communal upkeep and grounds maintenance — a helpful benefit but an ongoing cost to factor into running expenses. Broadband is average; mobile signal and local security are strong.
Positioned in sought-after Lexden, the house is within walking distance of highly regarded schools, green spaces and local amenities. Low crime, excellent transport links and proximity to nature reserves make this a compelling choice for families seeking a prestigious, low-maintenance home with character and significant outside space views.
