This distinguished six-bedroom Edwardian detached home in Lexden offers generous family accommodation across three floors and circa 2,400 sq ft. Period details such as box bay windows, high ceilings, ceiling roses and original terrazzo flooring are combined with high-quality modern upgrades for comfortable, stylish living. The Devol-designed kitchen-diner, fitted pantry/utility and bespoke built cabinetry give real everyday practicality for a busy household.
The layout suits a growing family: a formal reception room, versatile ground-floor cloakroom, a master suite with Jack & Jill-style en suite, and three further bathrooms spread over the first and second floors. The attractive landscaped rear garden with multiple patios provides private outdoor space for play and entertaining, while off-street parking and a newly built brick wall add kerb appeal.
Practical considerations are made clear: the property is freehold, located in a very affluent area with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, and sits in a neighbourhood of highly qualified professionals. Nearby schooling options include several top-performing independent and state schools, though one local selective secondary is recorded with an Inadequate Ofsted rating.
Note the house is arranged over multiple levels, so it may not suit buyers needing single-floor living. Road parking is managed by residents’ permits and visitor permits, so additional parking for larger household fleets could be restricted. Overall, this is a rare, well-updated period home offering flexible six-bedroom family living in one of Colchester’s most established suburbs.
