Details

Boydens are pleased to bring to market this unique four-bedroom Arts and Crafts home, praised by the noted author Nikolaus Pevsner for its "Voysey style." Built in 1899, this beautiful family residence is located on a 0.2-acre elevated plot. The home features a beautiful garden offering a peaceful, countryside feel while being within walking distance of the city centre and local schools.

The property opens with an original solid oak door leading into a spacious entrance hall. The large kitchen/breakfast room is well-equipped for both casual dining and cooking. Next to the kitchen is a roomy utility/boot room with plenty of storage and outdoor access. The cozy sitting room has a wood burner, creating a warm atmosphere, and the dining room, with its charming fireplace, is perfect for formal meals. A family room with a vaulted ceiling adds a sense of space, and a ground floor bathroom completes the layout.

Upstairs, the attractive turning stairwell leads to a first-floor galleried landing. The home includes three double bedrooms and a single bedroom, along with a modern family bathroom.

Outside, the property features a private driveway leading to a carport that can fit two vehicles. The front garden is landscaped and offers access to the utility/boot room. The rear garden is private and well-maintained, starting with a sun terrace and a shingle area. Steps lead to a lawn with various trees, flowers, and shrubs, and a wild garden at the rear completes this charming outdoor space.

Positioned on Maldon Road, renowned as one of Colchester's most sought-after thoroughfares, residents enjoy convenient proximity to the city centre and Crouch Street's shopping precinct. Esteemed educational institutions such as The Girls High School, Royal Grammar, Oxford House, St. Mary's, and the Sixth Form College are easily accessible, alongside Colchester's North Station, less than a mile away, offering swift access to London's Liverpool Street within 50 minutes. Moreover, the property benefits from excellent connectivity to the A12 in both southbound and northbound directions, with junctions 27 and 26 conveniently nearby.
