Description
A beautifully presented four-bedroom Victorian duplex apartment, positioned in the highly sought-after residential area of Lexden and offering easy access to Colchester city centre with its excellent range of shopping, dining and leisure facilities.
The property retains an abundance of fine original features and has been thoroughly and sympathetically refurbished over the past two years, blending period character with high-quality contemporary finishes. Benefits include two bathrooms, a south-facing courtyard garden and on-street permit parking.
Accommodation is arranged over two levels and comprises a welcoming long hallway, an elegant lounge and dining room showcasing classic Victorian high ceilings, a recently installed high-specification kitchen/breakfast room with marble work surfaces and a Fisher & Paykel range cooker, together with a ground-floor walk-in shower room. The lower ground floor offers three generous double bedrooms, including one with an en-suite, and a further single bedroom currently utilised as a study.
The apartment has undergone extensive improvements while carefully preserving its original charm. Works include a new heating system, new flooring throughout, upgraded bathrooms, a premium kitchen installation, new external doors to the lounge and bespoke Italian internal doors.
The building dates back to 1886 and was designed and built by stonemason and architect L J Watts, using reclaimed materials from the demolition of St Runwald’s Church. It forms part of a striking and prominent corner building on Creffield Road and Oxford Road, instantly recognisable by its distinctive turret. Originally constructed as a terrace of four houses, it later served in part as a primary school during the 1950s and 1960s, before being converted into the stylish apartments seen today.
Rich in history and architectural interest, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a characterful home within one of Lexden’s most notable and historic buildings.
