Description
Welcome to Church Lane, Colchester (CO3 4AB) — a truly enchanting three double bedroom detached residence that perfectly blends period charm with family-friendly living. Believed to have been built in the 1600s, this home is steeped in character and history, offering the kind of warmth and personality you simply can’t replicate in modern builds.
From the moment you arrive, you’ll be captivated by the tranquillity of the setting — nestled within a conservation area, surrounded by woodland walks and the nearby nature reserve. And while the setting feels beautifully peaceful, you’re still just moments from everything a family could need — from highly rated schools to local shops, cafés, and Colchester’s vibrant town centre.
Inside, the home is rich with period details — including a 17th-century fireplace that forms the heart of the cosy lounge, perfect for quiet evenings or gatherings with friends. The layout offers three spacious double bedrooms, ideal for growing families or those working from home. There is potential for a fourth bedroom/office space, too.
Planning permission has already been submitted to open up the ground floor, creating the potential for a stunning open-plan kitchen, dining and living space — designed with modern family life and entertaining in mind.
Step outside and you’ll find one of the most beautiful rear gardens you could wish for — mature, private, and bursting with colour. It’s the perfect space for summer barbecues, morning coffee, or simply unwinding in nature.
