Summary - 5 Washington Court, Jefferson Close CO3 9BS
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Ideal for growing households near good schools and green spaces.
Generous plot with large enclosed rear garden and mature borders
This roomy four-bedroom detached house sits on a generous plot in the popular Lexden area, about 2.5 miles from Colchester city centre. Ground floor living includes two reception rooms, a conservatory, kitchen with adjoining utility and a cloakroom — practical family spaces that flow to an enclosed rear garden. The double garage and wide driveway offer substantial off-street parking for several vehicles.
Upstairs the principal bedroom benefits from an en suite shower; three further bedrooms and a family shower room complete the first floor. Built in the 1980s and upgraded with double glazing and gas central heating, the property is ready to inhabit while also offering clear potential to extend, subject to planning. There is a brick outbuilding with electricity and side access on both sides of the house.
Notable practical points include slow broadband speeds locally and council tax at an above-average band — factors to consider for working-from-home households and ongoing costs. Buyers should also arrange their own checks on services and appliances. For families, the location is strong: good local schools, nearby green spaces, Tollgate Shopping Park and quick access to the A12.
