Description
Boydens are proud to present this beautifully appointed and spacious first-floor apartment, offering breathtaking views across the tranquil Lexden Park Nature Reserve. Originally constructed in the 1800s as a distinguished private residence set within expansive ornamental grounds, the property has undergone a rich history of transformation. In the 1950s, it was significantly extended and served as a private school before later becoming part of Colchester’s Technical College. In the 1990s, the building was meticulously converted into five substantial apartments by a highly regarded local developer.
This exquisite residence effortlessly blends period charm with modern sophistication. Character features such as high ceilings, sash windows, and detailed skirting boards are complemented by a bespoke fitted kitchen and a luxurious bathroom, creating a harmonious fusion of classic and contemporary design.
The generously proportioned living room provides an inviting space for both relaxation and entertaining, enhanced by a large window framing magnificent views over the lake and surrounding parkland. The stylish kitchen/diner features quartz worktops, integrated appliances, and ample storage, making it both practical and visually impressive. The modern bathroom enjoys a four-piece white suite and abundant natural light from a large window.
Accommodation includes two spacious double bedrooms, both benefiting from large windows and high ceilings, and a third single bedroom currently utilised as a home office. Additional benefits include two allocated parking spaces, visitor parking, and access to a shared cellar offering additional storage.
The apartment is set within beautifully maintained communal gardens rich with mature trees and wildlife, providing a serene and picturesque setting.
