GUIDE PRICE £700,000--£725,000---Superior Homes at Boydens are delighted to bring to the market this beautifully presented, four-bedroom, detached residence. This spacious bay fronted family home was built in the 1920s on one of the most sought after roads to the west of Colchester. The present owners have, over the years, extended the property and successfully managed to combine a wealth of character features with contemporary styles.

The property is accessed via an original 1920s wooden door, which opens into a light and airy hallway with stairs leading to the first floor and doors into the kitchen and the dining room. Originally the living room and dining room were separate, but the removal of the doors has provided this area with an open plan quality, which enhances the character features, to include stripped wooden floors, cast iron fireplaces, and bay windows. French doors open into a good-size conservatory that provides a serene place overlooking the rear garden. A door from the dining room leads into a versatile extension, which could be used for multiple purposes, such as a playroom or a study. The bespoke kitchen is also an extension with composite worksurfaces and underfloor heating. Again, this area benefits from an open plan design with a breakfast room and French doors leading into the rear garden. There is also a cloakroom and useful utility cupboard.

A turning stairwell leads to the first floor that offers four bedrooms, two with bay-windows and fitted wardrobes There is also a ‘H2O’ bespoke bathroom which is fully tiled with a double ended bath, corian double shower cubicle, designer radiator and underfloor heating.

Externally there is off-parking for two cars and a single garage. The rear garden is mainly laid to lawn with well stocked flower bed borders and a large paved patio.

Ireton Road is ideally situated for families and commuters alike with easy access to the town centre. It takes about 10 minutes to get into the centre of town from here, and about 30 minutes to walk to the train station. There are lots of local shops, as well as wine bars, restaurants, and a doctor's surgery.

Colchester itself offers a variety of national retailers and specialist shops and has a vibrant nightlife with restaurants catering for most tastes, plus a multi screen cinema and two theatres. There is also a range of excellent private and state schools nearby, with the house being within the Hamilton Primary School and Philip Morant School catchment areas.

From Colchester, there is easy access on to the A12 heading down to London or up to Ipswich. Trains into the capital run frequently on the main line and take approximately 50 minutes to London Liverpool Street Station, while Stansted is the nearest airport.
