Sanders Drive, Lexden, Colchester

A Beautifully Appointed Family Home on One of Colchester’s Most Prestigious Roads.



Located on the highly sought-after Sanders Drive, this exceptional family residence offers convenient access to both the A12 and Colchester North Station, and is within walking distance of a number of highly regarded public and private schools.

The current owners have meticulously transformed the property, resulting in a spacious and stylish home finished to an excellent standard throughout.

A welcoming porch leads into a central hallway, complete with a cloakroom and staircase to the first floor. The front-facing lounge features a log-burning stove and provides a cosy yet elegant retreat.

A substantial ground floor extension has created a stunning, bespoke kitchen and dining area, complete with expansive glass windows, French doors, and Velux skylights that bathe the space in natural light. This area is ideal for family living and entertaining alike, seamlessly connecting to a versatile reception room—perfectly suited as a cinema room, playroom, or additional lounge. Adjoining this space is a utility room with access to a covered passageway, ideal for muddy boots after countryside walks at nearby Hilly Fields.

Upstairs, the home continues to impress with four generously proportioned double bedrooms, made possible by a thoughtful extension over the garage and ground floor. The principal bedroom features a sleek en-suite shower room with contemporary marble-effect tiling, while the family bathroom has been recently refurbished to a similarly high specification.



Externally, the front of the property benefits from a newly paved driveway providing off-street parking for at least two vehicles, in addition to a single garage. A gated side entrance leads to a well-maintained rear garden, predominantly laid to lawn and complemented by an expansive patio area, a charming ornamental pond, and a second patio positioned to catch the evening sun. A timber shed provides practical garden storage.



Sanders Drive remains one of Colchester’s most desirable addresses, with excellent proximity to Crouch Street’s boutique shopping parade and Colchester town centre. The property is ideally placed for access to some of the area’s top schools, including Colchester County High School for Girls, Colchester Royal Grammar School, Oxford House, St Mary’s School, and Colchester Sixth Form College. Commuters will appreciate that Colchester North Station is under a mile away, offering fast and direct services to London Liverpool Street in under 50 minutes. The A12 is easily accessible via Junctions 26 and 27, making this an ideal location for those seeking both quality of life and connectivity.
