Inglis Road, Lexden. Colchester

Boydens are delighted to present to the market this deceptively spacious four-bedroom extended detached chalet, occupying an enviable elevated corner plot on one of Colchester’s most desirable roads, within walking distance of the Crouch Street Shopping Parade.

Built in the 1930s, this charming family home boasts versatile accommodation with an abundance of character features throughout.

An attractive stained-glass front door opens into a generous entrance hall, complete with fitted cupboards with sliding doors, original floorboards, and a twisting staircase leading to the first floor. Two bay-fronted reception rooms enjoy dual aspects, feature fireplace openings, and wooden floors, while a further two versatile reception rooms provide excellent flexibility, ideal for use as a dining room, playroom, home office, or additional bedroom. A conveniently located shower room sits adjacent to the kitchen, offering easy access to these rooms.

The spacious kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with ample storage and work surfaces, complemented by a large dining area perfect for entertaining. A door opens directly onto the garden, providing an ideal setting for summer dining. To the rear, a porch leads to the parking area and into a practical laundry room housing the washing machine, dryer, and boiler. There is also access into the converted garage, which offers potential for updating.

Upstairs, the property features three generous double bedrooms, with the master benefiting from fitted wardrobes and a distinctive porthole window to the front. A fourth bedroom offers versatility as a single room or study. A modern four-piece bathroom suite completes the first floor, comprising a raised slipper bath, double shower, wash hand basin, and WC.

Externally, the property benefits from off-road parking and a private garden to the side. Whilst the home would benefit from some updating, it presents an excellent opportunity and is offered chain-free.

Inglis Road has long been considered as one of Colchester’s most desirable roads. From here, the town and Crouch Street's shopping parade are within reach. A choice of excellent schooling facilities, including The Girls High School, Royal Grammar, Oxford House, St Mary's, and the Sixth Form College, can easily be accessed. Colchester's North Station is also less than a mile away, and from here, London Liverpool Street can be reached within fifty minutes. The property also enjoys excellent access to the A12 southbound at junction 27, and north and southbound at junction 26.
