Description

A distinguished Georgian residence in the heart of Lexden

A beautifully restored and generously proportioned four/five-bedroom Georgian home, set in one of Colchester’s most prestigious residential addresses. Ideally located in the sought-after Lexden district, this elegant period property is within easy reach of the city centre, mainline station, and several outstanding schools, offering the perfect balance of heritage charm and modern family living.

Lovingly refurbished and enhanced by the current owners, this lovely showcases flexible accommodation arranged over three immaculate floors. Classic Georgian features — including high ceilings, original fireplaces, sash windows, and working shutters — have been thoughtfully retained, while stylish updates bring a sense of contemporary comfort throughout.

**Step Inside**
A grand reception hall with original staircase sets the tone for the home’s timeless elegance. This leads to two formal reception rooms, a playroom/snug, a fifth bedroom or home office, a re-fitted bathroom, and a secondary staircase discreetly linking all floors.

The lower ground floor forms the social hub of the home, offering a stunning open-plan kitchen, dining, and family area with doors opening to the rear garden — perfect for modern indoor/outdoor living. Additional features on this level include a cinema room, a walk-in wine cellar, a utility room, and a contemporary bathroom.

On the first floor, four generously sized bedrooms provide ample family accommodation. The principal and second bedrooms benefit from a stylish Jack & Jill en-suite, while a further family bathroom serves the remaining rooms.

**Step Outside**
Set back from the road, the home is approached via an enclosed front garden with a traditional path leading to the entrance. A secure side gate offers access to the spacious rear garden — a private oasis featuring a sun terrace, lawns, mature planting, and a charming potting shed.

To the rear, a large block-paved parking area provides secure off-road parking for multiple vehicles, accessed via remote-controlled electric gates from Spring Lane.
