This spacious four-bedroom detached bungalow in Lexden’s Poets Corner is newly renovated and presented for immediate occupation. The open-plan kitchen/living area with bi-fold doors, Silestone worktops and a wood-burning stove creates a bright, sociable heart to the home. Twelve solar panels with 4kW battery storage reduce running costs and support low-carbon living.
Rooms are practical and well planned for single-storey living: a master bedroom with en‑suite, two good-sized bedrooms, and a flexible fourth room suitable as an office or hobby space. The extended garage has been converted into a vaulted, skylit home office with a WC, offering excellent remote-working space or studio use.
Outside, a gated, block‑paved and gravel driveway provides substantial off‑street parking while the large, level rear garden and landscaped beds offer a private outdoor area for families or gardeners. The property sits in an affluent, low-crime neighbourhood close to highly rated schools, local shops and transport links into Colchester and beyond.
Important points to note: the former garage conversion reduces original internal storage and vehicle space (a removable partition currently conceals a golf-simulator alcove and could restore garage use). The bungalow footprint and single-storey layout limit ground-floor extension without planning consent; buyers should verify loft/dormer potential if additional accommodation is required. Council tax is moderate and tenure is freehold.
