This late Victorian semi-detached town house occupies three principal floors plus a cellar, offering spacious period accommodation across 2,840 sqft. High ceilings, ornate coving, large bay windows and two grand reception rooms deliver strong character and flexible family living; the cellar includes a useful study area. The well-equipped kitchen/breakfast room, pantry and conservatory suit everyday family use while the west-facing landscaped garden provides a private, sunny outdoor space.
Five double bedrooms are arranged across the upper floors; the property has two bathrooms (one family bathroom and one large shower room) which may feel limited for a household of this size. Practical additions include off-street parking for multiple cars, an EV charging point and useful walk-in storage, but the solid brick walls are assumed to have no cavity insulation and may need thermal upgrades to improve energy efficiency.
Positioned on a sought-after tree-lined road in Lexden, the house is within walking distance of town amenities, parks, the Mercury Theatre and a range of highly regarded schools. Colchester North and Town stations are about 1.2 miles away, offering good rail links to London. Council tax is high, reflecting the address and size; buyers should factor ongoing running costs and potential retrofit works into their budget.
This house will suit a growing family or buyers seeking a substantial character home with scope for sensitive modernisation. It already combines generous, move-in accommodation with clear potential to increase comfort and efficiency through targeted improvements.
