A Stunning First-Floor Apartment Overlooking Lexden Park’s Nature Reserve

Boydens are proud to present this beautifully appointed and spacious first-floor apartment, offering breathtaking views across the tranquil Lexden Park Nature Reserve. Originally constructed in the 1800s as a distinguished private residence set within expansive ornamental grounds, the property has undergone a rich history of transformation. In the 1950s, it was significantly extended and served as a private school before later becoming part of Colchester’s Technical College. In the 1990s, the building was meticulously converted into five substantial apartments by a highly regarded local developer.

This exquisite residence effortlessly blends period charm with modern sophistication. Character features such as high ceilings, sash windows, and detailed skirting boards are complemented by a bespoke fitted kitchen and a luxurious bathroom, creating a harmonious fusion of classic and contemporary design.

The generously proportioned living room provides an inviting space for both relaxation and entertaining, enhanced by a large window framing magnificent views over the lake and surrounding parkland. The stylish kitchen/diner features quartz worktops, integrated appliances, and ample storage, making it both practical and visually impressive. The modern bathroom enjoys a four-piece white suite and abundant natural light from a large window.
Accommodation includes two spacious double bedrooms, both benefiting from large windows and high ceilings, and a third single bedroom currently utilised as a home office. Additional benefits include two allocated parking spaces, visitor parking, and access to a shared cellar offering additional storage.

The apartment is set within beautifully maintained communal gardens rich with mature trees and wildlife, providing a serene and picturesque setting.

Location
Lexden Park is situated on the sought-after west side of Colchester, within the prestigious Lexden area. Residents enjoy easy access to the vibrant town centre, which offers a wide range of amenities including shops, restaurants, cinemas, and galleries. The property is within walking distance of some of the region’s most acclaimed schools, including Colchester County High School for Girls, St Mary’s School for Girls, and Colchester Royal Grammar School.

The adjacent Lexden Park Nature Reserve extends to approximately 20 acres and is home to a variety of flora and fauna, including species such as Lady’s Bedstraw, Knapweed, and Greater Bird's-foot Trefoil. Nearby, the Lexden Springs and Hilly Fields Nature Reserves offer a further 80 acres of scenic landscapes, nature trails, and seasonal events.

Excellent transport links are also a key benefit, with the A12 providing direct routes to Ipswich, Chelmsford, and London. Colchester’s mainline railway station is just a short drive away, offering direct services to London Liverpool Street in approximately 50 minutes.
This outstanding apartment offers the rare combination of elegant living, historical significance, and proximity to both nature and urban conveniences — a truly exceptional home in an enviable location.
