**GUIDE PRICE £500,000 - £525,000** Boydens are pleased to bring to the market this substantial four-bedroom detached home, situated on the ever-popular Poets Corner development in the heart of Lexden. Offering over 2,200 square feet of versatile accommodation, this spacious property is ideal for families looking to create their long-term home in a highly desirable west Colchester location.

The property is accessed via a covered porch which leads into a welcoming entrance hall. From here, doors open into a useful lobby, the integral garage, and the main inner hallway. The inner hall provides access to two ground floor bedrooms, a shower room, the kitchen/diner, and the generously proportioned living room which features a central fireplace and a bright, open feel, with patio doors leading out into the rear garden. The kitchen/diner is fitted with a range of base and wall units incorporating an oven and hob, and offers ample space for a dining table. A side door from here provides access outside, where a utility room could potentially be created (subject to the necessary planning permissions).

On the first floor, there are two further well-sized bedrooms, one of which benefits from a vanity sink. These rooms share the use of a family bathroom, complete with a bath. Also on this level is a walk-in laundry room, and a separate WC completes the accommodation.

Externally, the property occupies a quiet position at the end of a no-through road. To the front is a block-paved driveway providing off-road parking and access to the garage, which is fitted with an electric roller door. The rear garden is private and well established, with mature planting and hedging to the boundaries. A generous patio area immediately abuts the rear of the house - ideal for summer dining and entertaining.

Marlowe Way is conveniently located for access to the A12 and Colchester’s mainline North Station, with direct trains to London Liverpool Street. The property falls within catchment for sought-after local schools, including Home Farm Primary and Philip Morant Secondary. Local amenities are close by, including a Sainsbury’s superstore, a range of restaurants and pubs, and the ever-popular Lexden Crown, which is within walking distance via a nearby footpath. Colchester’s city centre is also just a short drive away.
