About
Situated in the highly sought-after Lexden area, on the west side of Colchester, this well-proportioned three-bedroom semi-detached family home offers generous living accommodation, off-road parking and a private rear garden.
Requiring some light refurbishment, the property presents an excellent opportunity for buyers looking to create a home tailored to their own taste.
The accommodation begins with an entrance hall, with stairs rising to the first floor and access into a spacious lounge.
A bay window provides plenty of natural light, while a feature fireplace creates an attractive focal point.
The lounge flows naturally into the dining area, where patio doors open onto the rear garden, making the space particularly well suited to both family life and entertaining.
An opening from the dining room leads into the kitchen, fitted with a range of eye-level and base units, work surfaces and some integrated appliances.
Upstairs, the landing provides access to three well-sized bedrooms and a shower room, completing the internal accommodation.
Outside, the property benefits from a front driveway providing off-road parking, while the fully enclosed rear garden is mainly laid to lawn and offers a private outdoor space with plenty of potential.
The location is another major attraction.
Lexden is popular for its convenient access to local schools, shops and supermarkets, together with excellent road connections to the A12 and A120 and reliable public transport links.
Both Stane Retail Park and Tollgate Retail Park are within walking distance, placing a wide range of shopping and everyday amenities close at hand.
With its desirable Lexden location, three good-sized bedrooms, generous living space and scope for improvement, this is a home with plenty of potential.
Early viewing is highly recommended to appreciate both the accommodation and the opportunity on offer.
