Luxurious Four-Bedroom Detached Property in Sought-After Colchester Location
Boydens is proud to present this exceptional four-bedroom detached property, situated on one of the most desirable roads in Colchester. Built as one of three similar-style properties off St Clares Road, this home has been lovingly maintained and offers a blend of classic elegance and modern convenience, with opportunities for expansion and personalisation.

Welcoming Entrance
Upon entry, the property opens into a welcoming entrance hall with a downstairs WC and leads into the main hallway. The space is graced by a grand staircase and offers access to the principal rooms on the ground floor. A beautifully proportioned dining room with a bow window to the front aspect serves as an ideal space for hosting. Currently, the chimney stack is blocked but could be reopened to create a charming focal point.

Adjacent to the dining room, the main lounge offers generous proportions and features a gas fireplace, adding warmth and ambiance. French doors lead directly out into the rear garden, providing seamless indoor-outdoor living.

Spacious Open Plan Living
The heart of the home is the expansive open-plan kitchen and dining area. Equipped with fitted base and eye-level units, an integrated oven, hob, and sink, this space is as functional as it is inviting. The large dining area provides plenty of room for a family-sized table, while French doors open into a grand orangery. With views over the north-facing rear garden, the orangery remains cool in the summer, making it a perfect space to relax. From here, there is access to the independent annex, offering additional versatility.

First-Floor Bedrooms and Bathrooms
The first floor houses four well-appointed bedrooms. The principal suite boasts a bow window to the front aspect and a spacious ensuite bathroom, complete with a bath and shower, vanity unit, and close-coupled WC. Two further double bedrooms include one with dual-aspect windows and the other with a walk-in wardrobe.

The fourth bedroom is currently utilised as a dressing room with floor-to-ceiling fitted cupboards. However, this room could easily be converted back into a bedroom. A family bathroom on this level offers both a bath and a separate shower, as well as a WC and sink, catering to family needs.

Independent Annex
The separate annex can be accessed via the orangery and offers an additional lounge/kitchenette space with a window overlooking the front aspect. It also features a hallway, a bedroom with garden views, and a shower room with a single shower cubicle, WC, and sink, providing independent living quarters for guests or extended family.

Outdoor Living
The property enjoys an impressive front garden, featuring an in-and-out driveway that provides ample off-road parking. A carport to the side offers protection for vehicles, and a side gate provides access to the rear garden. The beautifully landscaped rear garden is mainly laid to lawn, with mature shrubs and small trees enhancing the sense of privacy. A patio area directly behind the house provides the perfect setting for alfresco dining and outdoor entertaining.

Location: Premier Lexden Road Setting
This home is situated in Lexden, one of Colchester's most prestigious areas. Located just a mile west of Colchester City centre, the property is ideally placed for access to some of the area's best schools, including the Royal Grammar School for boys, County High School for girls, and several notable private schools such as St. Mary’s, Oxford House, and Holmwood House.

Colchester City offers a vibrant mix of history, culture, and leisure, with the Norman Castle, Mercury Theatre, a variety of shops, bars, and restaurants, and excellent commuting links. Colchester North Station is just a short drive away, providing regular, fast trains to London Liverpool Street in under an hour.

For those who enjoy an active lifestyle, there are several golf clubs nearby, sailing at West Mersea (9 miles away), and seaside attractions at Frinton and Walton (18 miles away). The beautiful countryside of the Colne and Stour Valleys offers scenic walking routes, and excellent road links via the A12 and A120 provide access to Chelmsford, Stansted Airport, Ipswich, and beyond.

Your Dream Family Home Awaits
This stunning property offers not only an enviable location but also the opportunity to create a personalised family home with generous space and thoughtful design. The combination of traditional charm, modern convenience, and access to both nature and urban amenities makes this property a rare find in the heart of Colchester’s most sought-after neighborhood.
