Characterful detached cottage in Lexden with parking and garden, close to schools and shops.
No onward chain; guide price £260k–£270k
A charming two-bedroom detached cottage in Lexden offered with no onward chain and a guide price of £260,000–£270,000. The house sits in a sought-after part of Colchester with quick access to the city centre and the retail parks at Stanway, making everyday shopping and commuting straightforward. Off-road parking for two vehicles and a front garden with patio add practical outdoor space.
Inside, the layout is traditional and well-proportioned across about 686 sq ft: entrance porch, lounge/diner with doors to the garden, a medium-sized modern-traditional kitchen, ground-floor bathroom, and two first-floor bedrooms. Characterful mid-century exterior detail and a retro garden pond offer period charm and outside potential, while internal ceiling heights and room proportions are standard for the age and style.
Important practical points: the property is an average overall size with only one bathroom, broadband speeds are average, and the wider area shows higher deprivation indicators. EPC is listed as TBC, so energy efficiency details are not confirmed. These factors are balanced by nearby good and outstanding primary and secondary schools and excellent mobile signal, which will suit families or buyers prioritising local amenities.
This property will suit buyers seeking a ready-to-live-in cottage with character and parking, or those wanting modest cosmetic improvements to personalise the home. Viewings are recommended to appreciate the layout, garden potential and convenient Lexden location.
