Set over two floors and extending to around 1,585 sq ft, this detached Lexden house suits growing families who need space and good local schools. The ground floor offers flexible reception rooms and a bright open-plan kitchen/dining area with large doors to a generous south-west facing garden that captures afternoon sun. Upstairs are three double bedrooms, a family bathroom and handy laundry room.
Practical features include a substantial garage with rear parking, mains gas central heating and double glazing (install date unknown). The plot is notably large for the area, with a private front garden and a rear garden ideal for play, gardening or summer entertaining. Fast broadband, low local crime and easy access to Colchester commuter routes add daily convenience.
Built in the 1950s–60s, the house presents an opportunity to personalise and modernise certain elements; some buyers may want to update décor, kitchen fittings or electrics to current tastes. Council Tax sits at a higher band (Band F), which is an important ongoing cost to factor in. The property can be offered chain free for a smoother purchase process.
Located in sought-after Parsons Hill, the home is within walking distance of several highly rated primary and secondary schools and benefits from good road and rail links into Colchester and London. For families seeking space, garden and strong local amenities, this offers solid potential with scope to add value through sympathetic updating.
