Summary - The Chantry, Colchester, Essex, CO3 CO3 3QR
5 bed 1 bath Link Detached House
Chain-free four-bedroom family home with garage, large garden and scope to modernise.
No onward chain, ready for a quick sale
Occupying a large plot in popular Lexden, this chain-free detached family home is described in the layout as a four-bedroom, three-reception property with a single garage and generous driveway. The house sits on a quiet residential street close to highly regarded local schools and offers comfortable living space across two floors. The rear garden is mainly lawn with a patio and mature shrub borders — a blank canvas for landscaping or extension (subject to permissions).
The interior retains mid-century character, including a wood-panelled kitchen ceiling and multiple reception rooms that can be adapted to suit home working or family needs. Practical features include double glazing, mains gas central heating and useful storage such as built-in wardrobes and an airing cupboard. The property is offered with no onward chain, which can speed completion for buyers wanting to move or renovate quickly.
Notable considerations: the home currently has only one bathroom for multiple bedrooms, so modernisation or extension may be needed for larger families. The construction era (late 1960s–1970s) and assumed cavity walls without added insulation suggest energy-efficiency improvements could be worthwhile. Council Tax is band F and there is an electrical access box at the rear with a right of access for maintenance. Overall, this is a well‑positioned family house with scope to update and increase value rather than a turnkey modern home.
