Lexden Park House, Colchester

OVERVIEW *GUIDE PRICE £625,000 TO £650,000*

We are delighted to present this prestigious, three double-bedroom duplex penthouse apartment with a private roof terrace overlooking Lexden Park, set within an outstanding historic white brick Italianate house. The residence is architecturally grand, with a luxurious, high specification interior design, and resides among the elite within an opulent setting amidst the communal grounds and lake of Lexden Park, Colchester.

The apartment occupies the top floor and has been upgraded and reconfigured in recent times to allow for the generous proportions you see today.
 

STEP INSIDE At the front of Lexden Park House, there is a pillared entrance with two sets of double doors leading through the communal entrance hall. Stairs ascend to all levels, and the apartment is positioned securely on the top floor, providing separate private access to the roof terrace, which is exclusive to this apartment.

Upon entering the personal entrance hall, you are greeted by an enticing reception that captures the elegance of the property, which is reflected throughout this handsome home.

The accommodation flows seamlessly through to a generous lounge, which offers hints of the rich Victorian past with sash windows, deep skirting boards, high ceilings, and an ornate feature fireplace, yet it has been sympathetically enhanced to an extremely high specification by the current owners. There are tremendous views from every window.

The owners have thoughtfully altered the layout to allow for an additional bedroom, currently used as a secondary sitting room and study area. Bedroom two has been beautifully decorated, continuing the theme of high ceilings and featuring lavish built-in, hand-made wardrobes. The Italian-lacquered kitchen is fully fitted with a range of high-end German appliances and a centre island conveniently placed to allow for dining.

Stairs ascend to the first floor, revealing the principal suite, complemented by a bespoke walk-in dressing room, which in turn leads to a personal marble en-suite bathroom.

Bifold doors give access to the private roof terrace, which has been tastefully decorated and offers a great, intimate space for al-fresco dining alongside breath-taking views over Lexden Park and Colchester's skyline. 

OUTSIDE & LOCATION There are two private parking spaces along with visitor parking, plus an additional lower ground floor cellar which the owners have dry-lined to provide additional storage.
