Occupying a prominent position in Lexden, this four-bedroom detached house sits on a very large plot with a secluded south-east facing garden and mature trees. The layout is traditional and family-friendly, with separate living and dining rooms, a study and a double garage with ample off-street parking. Sold freehold and chain free, the home offers immediate possession for buyers wanting to renovate and personalise.
The property requires refurbishment throughout, which creates strong scope to reconfigure spaces, update services and add contemporary finishes. The house already benefits from modern energy features visible on the roof and a substantial garage; these will reduce initial retrofit costs and support longer-term running efficiency.
Located in a highly regarded part of Colchester close to outstanding primary and strong independent schools, the home suits families seeking space and garden privacy while remaining within the city. Note the council tax band is expensive and the property will need investment to bring it up to modern standards; purchasers should budget for refurbishment costs accordingly.
Overall this is a solid, traditional home on a large, south-facing plot that will reward a buyer prepared to renovate. Its size, location and no-chain status make it a compelling proposition for a family looking to create a long-term home in Lexden.
