Boydens are delighted to present to the market this beautifully designed and spacious family residence, complete with a self-contained two-bedroom annex, situated in the highly sought-after Kingsford Park area to the south of Colchester.

In recent years, the property has been tastefully extended and renovated with an emphasis on modern design and high-quality finishes. Approached via a winding driveway leading to the main house, where a newly constructed extension with a solid oak porch provides an elegant entrance.

Upon entering, you are welcomed into a generous hallway with a large storage cupboard, perfect for coats and shoes. From here, a door leads into a well-proportioned double bedroom with a stylish en-suite shower room, ideally suited as a guest suite or accommodation for an au pair.

Double doors open into a bright and versatile lounge/dining area, which seamlessly flows into a bespoke fitted kitchen. This impressive kitchen features a large central island, quartz countertops, ample storage, and dual aspects. Bi-folding doors open directly onto a patio, creating an exceptional space for entertaining throughout the year. A separate utility/laundry room adjoins the kitchen, housing the heating system and providing rear garden access. Completing the ground floor is a modern shower room with a spacious walk-in double shower.

A sweeping staircase leads to the first floor, where the principal bedroom offers fitted wardrobes and attractive views across the garden. A second double bedroom also benefits from fitted wardrobes, while the third bedroom includes useful eaves storage. A recently fitted family bathroom serves the first floor.

This outstanding home successfully blends contemporary design with practical family living, offering flexible accommodation in one of Colchester’s most desirable locations.

The detached two-bedroom annex has been thoughtfully designed with a contemporary barn-style influence, combining modern comfort with characterful architectural features.

The property is accessed via a composite front door, opening into a welcoming hallway with ample storage and a feature staircase that leads to the first floor. The ground floor boasts an impressive open-plan kitchen/living area, complete with a vaulted ceiling, bespoke fittings, and an abundance of natural light. Large windows and French doors open directly onto a patio, providing a seamless connection to the surrounding grounds.

A spacious double bedroom, enhanced by dual windows and generous storage, is located on the ground floor, adjoining a stylish shower room with a walk-in shower. Upstairs, the annex offers a further double bedroom and a cloakroom, creating a flexible living arrangement.
