Details

Boydens are proud to present this beautifully designed and immaculately presented four-bedroom detached residence, located on one of the most sought-after roads in the prestigious Lexden area of Colchester.

Set back from the main road, this deceptively spacious family home has been thoughtfully extended and significantly enhanced by the current owners to an exceptional standard. The property offers ample off-road parking via a generous driveway leading to a single garage.

Upon entering through a charming stained-glass double-glazed door, you are welcomed into a spacious hallway with ample storage for coats and access to the staircase rising to the first floor. The extended principal bedroom is a true retreat, featuring a dual aspect, a walk-in closet, and a newly fitted contemporary shower room. The second bedroom also benefits from fitted wardrobes and a pleasant front aspect. A large family bathroom, complete with a walk-in double shower, serves the second bedroom and guests alike.

The cosy lounge offers an ideal space to relax and unwind, with French doors leading into a stunning modern extension—the heart of the home. This impressive open-plan space is flooded with natural light from multiple windows and skylights, creating a perfect environment for family gatherings, dining, and entertaining. The bespoke fitted kitchen boasts Corian worktops, abundant storage, high-end integrated appliances, and a central island ideal for casual dining. A practical utility room is also situated on this level, with external access to the side of the property.

Upstairs, the first floor offers a spacious third double bedroom with dual aspects and built-in storage. The fourth bedroom, currently accommodating a double bed, offers versatility and would make an ideal study, craft room, or guest bedroom.

Externally, the front garden is attractively landscaped with well-stocked beds and a decorative paved feature. Secure gated access on both sides leads to the beautifully landscaped rear garden, thoughtfully designed to include a variety of areas: raised planters, mature borders, a vegetable patch and fruit cage, a children’s play area, a tranquil frog pond, and a timber garden shed. In addition, a well-maintained garden studio offers an inspiring space for artists or those working from home.

This exceptional property seamlessly combines character, functionality, and contemporary living in a prime location—viewing is highly recommended.

Glen Avenue has long been considered as one of Colchester’s most desirable roads. From here the town and Crouch Street's shopping parade are within easy reach. A choice of excellent schooling facilities, including The Girls High School, Royal Grammar, Oxford House, St Mary's and the Sixth Form College can also be easily accessed. Colchester's North Station is also less than a mile away and, from here, London's Liverpool Street can be reached within fifty minutes. The property also enjoys excellent access to the A12 southbound at Junction 27, and north and southbound at Junction 26.
