Summary - 16 HALSTEAD ROAD COLCHESTER CO3 9AE
3 bed 2 bath Detached
Generous garden, annex and workshop close to top schools and transport links.
Three bedrooms with principal en-suite
Set on sought-after Halstead Road in Lexden, this three-bedroom detached Victorian house balances original character with useful modern updates. The principal bedroom benefits from an en-suite and there are three reception rooms plus an extended kitchen/diner that opens to the garden — a practical layout for family life and entertaining.
A separate annex and substantial outbuildings increase usable space: the annex suits a home office or guest suite, while the large workshop and outdoor sauna offer hobby and leisure flexibility. Recent bathroom installations and double glazing (post-2002) reduce immediate refurbishment needs in core areas.
Buyers should note the house was built mid-20th century with cavity walls that are assumed uninsulated, so adding wall insulation would improve comfort and efficiency. Council tax is above average for the area and the property shows typical maintenance requirements for a period home — buyers seeking a completely turnkey finish may want to budget for cosmetic updates.
Location is a strength for families: within walking distance of well-regarded primary and secondary schools, local shops and retail parks, and with easy A12 access for commuter routes. The large garden gives room for children and pets, while generous overall floor area (about 1,618 sq ft including outbuildings) provides adaptable living space.
