Boydens are delighted to bring to market this beautifully presented three-bedroom Victorian end-of-terrace home, situated in the highly sought-after St Mary’s area. Ideally located within walking distance of Crouch Street’s popular parade of shops and Colchester’s vibrant city centre, this charming property offers a wonderful blend of period character and modern convenience.

The current owners have sympathetically restored this once-neglected home to its former glory, carefully retaining many of its original features while incorporating modern improvements, including double-glazed windows.

An original front door opens into a spacious entrance hall, with stairs rising to the first floor and plenty of space for coats and shoes. To the right is an impressive open-plan lounge/diner, featuring dual-aspect windows that fill the room with natural light, designer radiators and a log burner, creating a warm and inviting space for cosy winter evenings.

A door leads through to the contemporary bespoke kitchen, which is fitted with solid granite work surfaces, ample storage and a range of integrated appliances. French doors open directly onto the south-facing, walled courtyard-style garden, providing an ideal setting for alfresco dining and entertaining throughout the warmer months.

Upstairs, the generous landing features attractive picture rails, loft access and ample space for wardrobes or additional storage. The spacious master bedroom enjoys a front aspect and is well proportioned as a comfortable double bedroom. It adjoins a modern family bathroom, fitted with both a bath and separate shower featuring a rainfall showerhead. The bathroom also benefits from under-floor heating.

The second bedroom is also a generously sized double with a pleasant aspect, while the third bedroom benefits from fitted sliding wardrobes and would make an ideal nursery, dressing room or home office.

Externally, the front garden is enclosed by a low rendered wall, providing an attractive approach to the property. To the rear is a delightful south-facing courtyard garden, offering a private and low-maintenance space that is perfect for barbecues, outdoor dining and entertaining. The rear garden also benefits from convenient access to the front of the property.

Overall, this charming Victorian home offers a superb combination of original character, thoughtful modern updates and an excellent location, making it an ideal choice for those looking to enjoy the best of both period living and city convenience.
