St Clare Drive off St Clare Road, Colchester

Luxurious Four-Bedroom Detached Property in Sought-After Colchester Location
Boydens is proud to present this exceptional four-bedroom detached property, situated on one of the most desirable roads in Colchester. Built as one of three similar-style properties off St Clares Road, this home has been lovingly maintained and offers a blend of classic elegance and modern convenience, with opportunities for expansion and personalisation.

Welcoming Entrance
Upon entry, the property opens into a welcoming entrance hall with a downstairs WC and leads into the main hallway. The space is graced by a grand staircase and offers access to the principal rooms on the ground floor. A beautifully proportioned dining room with a bow window to the front aspect serves as an ideal space for hosting. Currently, the chimney stack is blocked but could be reopened to create a charming focal point.

Adjacent to the dining room, the main lounge offers generous proportions and features a gas fireplace, adding warmth and ambiance. French doors lead directly out into the rear garden, providing seamless indoor-outdoor living.

Spacious Open Plan Living
The heart of the home is the expansive open-plan kitchen and dining area. Equipped with fitted base and eye-level units, an integrated oven, hob, and sink, this space is as functional as it is inviting. The large dining area provides plenty of room for a family-sized table, while French doors open into a grand orangery. With views over the north-facing rear garden, the orangery remains cool in the summer, making it a perfect space to relax. From here, there is access to the independent annex, offering additional versatility.

First-Floor Bedrooms and Bathrooms
The first floor houses four well-appointed bedrooms. The principal suite boasts a bow window to the front aspect and a spacious ensuite bathroom, complete with a bath and shower, vanity unit, and close-coupled WC. Two further double bedrooms include one with dual-aspect windows and the other with a walk-in wardrobe.

The fourth bedroom is currently utilised as a dressing room with floor-to-ceiling fitted cupboards. However, this room could easily be converted back into a bedroom. A family bathroom on this level offers both a bath and a separate shower, as well as a WC and sink, catering to family needs.

Independent Annex
The separate annex can be accessed via the orangery and offers an additional lounge/kitchenette space with a window overlooking the front aspect. It also features a hallway, a bedroom with garden views, and a shower room with a single shower cubicle, WC, and sink, providing independent living quarters for guests or extended family.

Outdoor Living
The property enjoys an impressive front garden, featuring an in-and-out driveway that provides ample off-road parking. A carport to the side offers protection for vehicles, and a side gate provides access to the rear garden. The beautifully landscaped rear garden is mainly laid to lawn, with mature shrubs and small trees enhancing the sense of privacy. A patio area directly behind the house provides the perfect setting for alfresco dining and outdoor entertaining.
