Description

Ireton Road, Lexden District, CO3 – Colchester, Essex

An exceptional six-bedroom detached period residence in the heart of Lexden, offering elegant accommodation across three expansive floors and circa 2,400 sq ft of beautifully refined living space.

Positioned proudly within the sought-after Lexden/Maldon Road district, this grand and imposing period home is a rare find—expertly blending timeless character with high-quality modern enhancements. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered to retain its original charm while elevating the home for contemporary family living.

Step through the stained-glass front door into a truly elegant entrance hall, featuring the original terrazzo flooring, parquet accents, and a striking oversized sash window that bathes the space in natural light. A cleverly integrated under-stairs cloakroom/WC adds practicality while complementing the period aesthetic.

To the front, the formal reception room is a standout – complete with bespoke built-in cabinetry (including a concealed TV unit and pull-out desk), a large box bay window, intricate ceiling roses, and classic cornicing – creating an inviting and refined space to relax or entertain.

The heart of the home is the truly stunning Devol-designed kitchen-diner, hand-painted in Farrow & Ball’s ‘Jitney’. Centred around a double butler sink, the space features Perrin & Rowe brass taps (including a boiling water tap), integrated Smeg dishwasher, and generous storage. Adjacent lies the walk-in pantry/utility room, framed by a glazed partition and fitted with integrated appliances (washer/dryer by AEG, fridge and freezer by Smeg). Two additional Devol-crafted cupboards flank the kitchen fireplace—one a stylish bar cupboard with built-in wine racks and shelving, the other designed for practical storage, boot room space, and hanging coats.

The first floor hosts an impressive master bedroom with a Jack and Jill-style en suite, finished in chic marble tiling, bold black accents, and hexagonal white floor tiles. This level also includes a further generous double bedroom, a versatile study/single bedroom, and a fully tiled shower room with Neptune vanity basin.

The second floor offers three further well-proportioned bedrooms, ideal for growing families or flexible home-working spaces. A sleek monochrome shower room with herringbone tiling, whilst eaves storage complete the upper level.

Outside, the landscaped garden provides a peaceful, private retreat with multiple patio areas laid in tumbled limestone slabs (by Quorn Stone), including a striking herringbone section – all framed by carefully considered planting that comes to life in the summer months. Off-road parking is available at the front, enclosed by a newly laid brick wall, with residents’ permit parking and additional visitor permits also available on the road.

About Michaels Property Consultants Ltd, Colchester

Rebow House 62 Head Street Colchester CO1 1PB

A Fresh Approach To Buying & Selling Property.

At Michaels Property Consultants we pride ourselves in being different. We don't practice as stereotypical estate agents: talking at people and hard selling.

We listen to our clients. Every customer is different, they have their own needs and timescales and we are dedicated to putting these first. With over 30 years combined experience in property, we have developed extensive knowledge of the local area and we are able to give our customers genuine, professional advice at all times, whether they're buying or selling.

We provide advice on what people really want to know, whether it be regarding schools, local amenities or even where to eat. We also offer a private service to investment buyers, assisting them in making the best decisions in building their portfolios.

Michaels understand that a person's home is more than likely to be their biggest financial asset, so we use the highest quality of marketing to ensure that we achieve the best price possible.

We strive to provide people with a customer service beyond their expectations and we are so confident in delivering this that if you are marketing your home with us and not satisfied, we ask for just 14 days written notice at any given time.
