Chaucer Way, West Colchester

Offer in the region of £350,000

Boydens are pleased to bring to the market this three-bedroom detached family home, situated within the highly sought-after Poets Corner area of Lexden. Offering excellent potential throughout, the property presents an ideal opportunity for an incoming purchaser to modernise and create a wonderful long-term family home.

The property is accessed via an entrance hall with stairs rising to the first floor. Running the full length of one side of the property is a spacious dual-aspect lounge/dining room, providing an excellent space for both everyday family living and entertaining. To the rear, the kitchen is fitted with a range of base and eye-level units and enjoys direct access to the garden. Its position makes it particularly well suited to those looking to extend, subject to the necessary planning consents, creating a contemporary open-plan kitchen/living space. Also accessed externally is a useful understairs storage cupboard, which has been utilised by neighbouring properties as a laundry room.

On the first floor there are three bedrooms, comprising two doubles and a generous single bedroom, all of which benefit from built-in wardrobes. These are serviced by a family bathroom and separate WC. The property also benefits from a recently installed gas-fired boiler, which is housed within the garage.

Whilst requiring modernisation throughout, the property offers excellent potential for improvement and reconfiguration, allowing an incoming purchaser to put their own stamp on the home.

Externally, the property benefits from an enclosed rear garden, predominantly laid to lawn, providing an excellent blank canvas for landscaping or family enjoyment. To the front, there is a lawned garden together with driveway parking leading to the attached single garage. The abundance of off-road parking is a real highlight for a property in this location.

Chaucer Way is regarded as one of the most desirable roads within the ever-popular Poets Corner development in Lexden. The location provides excellent access to Colchester North Station, offering direct rail services to London Liverpool Street in under an hour, together with convenient access to the A12.

The property falls within the catchment area for several highly regarded schools, including Home Farm Primary School and Philip Morant School and College. A wide range of local amenities are close at hand, including supermarkets, independent shops, restaurants and public houses, whilst Colchester city centre is just a short distance away, offering an extensive range of shopping, leisure and dining facilities.

Early viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the potential and superb location this detached family home has to offer.
