Details

Boydens are delighted to present this spacious three-bedroom semi-detached family home, occupying a desirable non-estate position in the picturesque village of Fordham, to the west of Colchester. Situated on a generous corner plot and within walking distance of the Woodland Trust nature reserve, this property offers an enviable blend of space, setting and convenience.
The property is accessed via a double-glazed entrance door leading into a practical porch, ideal for coat and shoe storage. A welcoming and spacious entrance hallway features an understairs storage cupboard and stairs rising to the first floor. To the left, the well-proportioned lounge enjoys a front aspect and centres around an attractive open fireplace with a red brick surround, creating a warm and inviting focal point. French doors lead through to the dining room, which benefits from a rear aspect and an abundance of natural light.
The dining room adjoins a fitted kitchen, offering ample work surfaces and storage units. A door from the kitchen provides direct access to the rear garden, making it ideal for alfresco dining and entertaining. The property also offers excellent potential for extension, subject to the necessary planning permissions.
To the first floor, there are two generously sized double bedrooms, a well-proportioned single bedroom, and a family bathroom, all presented to a high standard. The spacious and thoughtfully arranged layout makes this an ideal home for family living.
Externally, the property is approached via a driveway providing ample off-road parking and access to a double garage. A side gate leads to the rear garden, which features a block-paved patio area, a well-maintained lawn bordered by mature flowers and shrubs, and a shed with power and lighting.
Located on Lucas Road in the highly sought-after village of Fordham, the property overlooks Woodland Trust land and is close to the picturesque Colne Valley, offering excellent opportunities for countryside walks. The village benefits from a public house, church, and a well-regarded primary school. Further amenities are available in nearby Colchester town centre and at Tollgate Retail Park, both just a short drive away.
Excellent transport links are within easy reach, including the A12 dual carriageway and Marks Tey mainline station, which provides direct services to London Liverpool Street.
