Details

Boydens are delighted to present this beautifully appointed and exceptionally spacious family home, situated in one of Colchester’s most sought-after residential locations. Occupying an enviable corner plot with a desirable south-facing rear aspect, this extended property offers generous accommodation throughout, making it ideal for modern family living.
A block-paved driveway provides ample off-road parking and leads to a double garage with electric doors. Solid wooden double doors open into an entrance hall, offering convenient internal access to the garage and practical space for coats and footwear. A glazed door then leads through to an impressive reception hall, complete with parquet flooring and a feature turning staircase rising to a galleried landing.
To the left, a spacious dual-aspect lounge is bathed in natural light and features a striking York stone fireplace, creating a welcoming focal point. Patio doors open directly onto the south-facing rear garden. Adjacent is the formal dining room, also benefiting from garden access via patio doors. This room adjoins to the extended, well-appointed kitchen, which provides ample work surfaces, a generous breakfast area, and multiple windows and doors that frame views of — and open out to — the rear garden, making this an ideal space for entertaining and al-fresco dining. A ground-floor cloakroom is conveniently located off the stairwell.
The first floor offers four well-proportioned double bedrooms. The master bedroom enjoys rear garden views, fitted wardrobes, and a private en-suite bathroom. The second bedroom has been extended to include an adjoining living area, perfect for an older child or guest accommodation, and adjoins access to an additional shower room. Two further double bedrooms overlook the front of the property, and a second shower room is also located on this floor.
Externally, the property features established front gardens. A side gate provides access to the rear, where a large stone patio steps up onto a well-maintained lawn with mature, well-stocked borders and a glass fronted summer house shed.
Marlowe Way is ideally positioned for access to the A12 and Colchester’s mainline North Station, which offers direct services to London Liverpool Street. The property falls within catchment for several highly regarded schools, including Home Farm Primary and Philip Morant Secondary. It is also within easy reach of outstanding schools, including Colchester County High School for girls, St Mary's School for girls and Colchester Royal Grammar School, which are well-recognised among some of the finest schools in the country. A variety of local amenities are nearby, including a Sainsbury’s superstore, Staines and Tollgate retail parks, numerous restaurants and pubs, and the popular Lexden Crown, accessible on foot via a nearby pathway. Colchester’s city centre is also just a short drive away.
