Summary - 231 LEXDEN ROAD COLCHESTER CO3 4DA
3 bed 3 bath Semi-Detached
Large character home with garden room, garage and excellent schools nearby.
Grade II listed cottage with original period features
A spacious Grade II listed cottage on Lexden Road offering plenty of period character alongside considered modern improvements. The house provides flexible living across multiple levels, with a rare ground-floor main bedroom and three en-suite bathrooms — a practical layout for family life or multi-generational use. The landscaped, private rear garden with large deck and hot tub creates a tranquil outdoor living space, and the garden room with bi-fold doors offers scope to create a bright open-plan kitchen/diner.
Location is a key strength: excellent access to Colchester city centre, the mainline station and several highly regarded schools make this an appealing family choice. Internal features such as exposed beams, a red-brick fireplace and original detailing preserve the cottage’s character while recent upgrades add everyday comfort. The property is offered chain-free and benefits from a private garage in Victoria Place opposite.
Buyers should note the property’s listed status — any significant alterations will need listed-building consent and may complicate renovation plans. The house is a solid-brick, pre-1900 build and appears to lack cavity insulation, so upgrading thermal performance could be needed. Council tax is described as expensive and parking is off-plot in the nearby garage rather than on-site.
This home suits buyers seeking character, space and proximity to top local schools, and who are comfortable working within the constraints of a listed building. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the scale and flexible layout offered by this unusually large cottage.
