Maldon Road, Colchester

GUIDE PRICE: £550,000 - £575,000.

Occupying a prestigious position along one of Colchester’s most desirable residential roads, this substantial four-bedroom detached residence presents an exciting opportunity to create a truly exceptional family home, all within easy reach of the city centre and some of the area’s most highly regarded schools, including the grammar schools on Lexden Road and Hamilton Road Primary School.

Set behind a private frontage with driveway parking, the property offers an abundance of character and generously proportioned accommodation throughout. While the house would benefit from modernisation in most areas, it provides the perfect canvas for buyers seeking to renovate and personalise a home in a prime location. Notably, the two bathrooms have already been recently updated to a high standard, offering stylish and contemporary spaces ready for immediate use.

The ground floor has been extended to the rear, creating spacious and versatile living areas with excellent potential for reconfiguration and enhancement. The principal reception room is filled with natural light and retains attractive period features, while the kitchen and dining areas offer ample space for modern family living and entertaining.

To the first floor are four well-sized bedrooms, all offering flexibility for growing families, guest accommodation, or home working requirements. The recently fitted bathrooms feature modern fixtures and fittings, finished with a clean and contemporary design.

Externally, the rear garden enjoys a peaceful outlook backing onto established allotments, creating a private and tranquil setting rarely found so close to the city centre. A standout feature of the property is the substantial detached outbuilding extending to over 850 sq ft. Previously used as a doctor’s surgery and school, the building is currently arranged into several rooms and offers exceptional potential for a wide range of uses, including home offices, a studio, gym, consultancy space, or possible annexe conversion, subject to the necessary consents.

Offered with no onward chain, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a characterful home with enormous scope for improvement and future value enhancement in one of Colchester’s most sought-after locations.
