Lexden, Colchester

-CHAIN FREE - Boydens is delighted to present this extended four-bedroom detached family home, located in the heart of Lexden. This spacious residence features a double-storey extension, enhancing both the living room and the master bedroom. Additionally, the garage has been converted into a versatile reception room, ideal for use as a playroom or office. While the property would benefit from modernisation, it offers an excellent blank canvas for a discerning buyer to create their own stylish home.
The accommodation comprises a large entrance hall with stairs leading to the first floor. The extended L-shaped living space offers versatile usage options and opens into both a conservatory and the rear garden. This floor also includes a kitchen with a separate utility room, a cloakroom with a separate shower room, and an additional reception room.
Upstairs, there are two good-sized double bedrooms, two single bedrooms, and a family bathroom. Externally, the property features ample off-road parking, a larger-than-average garage, and a carport. The rear garden, though in need of some maintenance, extends into the corner, making it larger than most. With clever landscaping, the space could be significantly enhanced.
This property represents a fantastic opportunity to create a beautiful family home in a sought-after location.
