An Attractive Four-Bedroom Family Home in the Heart of Lexden – leave the car at home, walk to the city centre and all Lexden Schools.
Tucked away in a quiet no-through road in the sought-after area of Lexden, this attractive modern four-bedroom home offers the perfect blend of village charm and city convenience. Whether you're a growing family needing easy access to local schools, downsizers seeking a low-maintenance lifestyle close to the city, or grandparents wanting to be near family for those all-important babysitting duties—this home truly ticks every box.
CONVENIENCE
Originally built in 2015 by the award-winning Redrow Homes, this property is ideally located just a short stroll from all Lexden schools and within easy walking distance to Colchester city centre. Despite its central location, the home exudes a peaceful, tucked-away feel—like living in a quaint village hamlet.
Commuters will appreciate the proximity to excellent transport links, with Colchester Station just under two miles away or a convenient eight minute ride via the regular early bus service along Lexden Road.
TOP OF CLASS FOR IMPROVEMENTS
Over the past eight years, the property has been thoughtfully enhanced with a fixed-roof extension replacing the original conservatory. This stunning transformation has created a spacious, light-filled kitchen/diner complete with ample room for a sofa and lounge area—all overlooking the south-facing garden. It’s a warm and inviting space, perfect for modern family living and entertaining, and it beautifully complements the separate main sitting room.
The ground floor also features a dedicated utility room and a generously sized study or playroom positioned at the front of the house—ideal for remote working or as a children’s space.
Upstairs, a wide and airy landing leads to four well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from a stylish en-suite, while a second double bedroom lies adjacent. Two further bedrooms at the rear are serviced by a modern family bathroom—ideal for a busy household.
The almost south-facing garden provides a good level of privacy and, being secure, is both child and pet friendly. Completing the package is a double garage and off-street parking for up to six vehicles—an increasingly rare find this close to the city.
