PRICE GUIDE--£450,000--£475,000-- Boydens are delighted to present this charming bay-fronted, three-bedroom Victorian semi-detached home, situated on one of Colchester’s most sought-after roads, within walking distance of Hamilton School. This spacious family residence boasts an array of original character features, including stripped wooden floorboards, open fireplaces, and elegant picture rails.
The property is approached via a tiled pathway leading to a stunning stained-glass door, which opens into a welcoming hallway with high ceilings and stripped wooden flooring. The front-facing living room is bathed in natural light through a bay window fitted with fitted shutters, while an open fireplace serves as a cozy focal point for colder evenings. Adjacent to this space, the rear-facing sitting room features an original log burner, enhancing the home's period charm.
A breakfast room with a tiled floor and side aspect, seamlessly connects to the extended kitchen via concertina doors. This well-appointed kitchen benefits from a vaulted ceiling with dual skylights, flooding the south-facing space with natural light. Designed for both practicality and entertaining, the kitchen also features French doors that open onto a patio, perfect for alfresco dining.
Ascending a turning stairwell, the first-floor landing leads to the generously sized master bedroom, which spans the front aspect and boasts dual windows with fitted shutters. The second bedroom, also well-proportioned, features a staircase leading to a second-floor en-suite bathroom, complete with a contemporary white suite—an ideal setup for a growing family or an older child seeking additional privacy. The third bedroom, overlooking the rear garden, adjoins a conveniently located shower room.
Externally, the front of the property is accessed via a cast iron gate, opening onto a tiled pathway and a charming garden, bordered by a low brick wall and a neatly maintained laurel hedge. A gated side passage provides access to a hardstanding area, offering ample storage. The good-sized, south-facing rear garden features two patios strategically positioned to capture the sun throughout the day, creating an inviting outdoor space for relaxation and entertaining.
This beautifully presented period home seamlessly blends Victorian elegance with modern convenience, making it a rare opportunity in this highly desirable location.
