Description
Built in 1998 on the historic site of the former Colchester Maternity Hospital, Sovereign Crescent is a distinguished row of 14 three-storey homes, thoughtfully designed by Classic New Homes. Renowned for their ability to emulate period properties, the developers created a crescent reminiscent of the sweeping architectural grandeur seen in Bath and London. The homes feature ornate stucco facades and Regency-style balconies, complemented by intricate interior details such as high ceilings, skirting boards, architraves, and cornices, all designed to reflect the elegance of the era.
Upon entering the property, the entrance corridor opens into a welcoming hall with a large storage cupboard. A versatile reception room on this floor serves as a playroom, snug, or study, alongside a convenient ground-floor cloakroom. The heart of the home is the spacious kitchen diner, which showcases a charming country-style kitchen with ample cupboard and worktop space, integrated appliances including a fridge freezer, a double oven, a gas hob, and a butler sink. Beyond this lies the sunroom, an elegant space perfect for relaxation, offering delightful views of the rear garden.
The first floor features a bright and characterful living room with high ceilings, multiple sash windows, and doors that open onto a Juliette balcony. A cast iron fireplace adds a touch of period charm. The principal bedroom, also located on this floor, boasts an en-suite shower room, built-in wardrobes, and double doors opening onto a front-facing balcony, offering stunning views of the crescent and Lexden Road.
On the second floor, the landing includes an airing cupboard and loft access. This level offers three further bedrooms: two generous doubles and a single, along with a family bathroom complete with a WC, wash basin, and a classic roll-top bath.
The exterior is equally impressive, with a south-facing Mediterranean-style rear garden designed for low maintenance, featuring patio and stone areas ideal for outdoor relaxation or entertaining. To the rear of the garden is a private single garage with a parking space in front, while an additional allocated parking space is located at the front of the property. A well-maintained front garden enhances the home’s charm and curb appeal.
This exceptional property offers a rare opportunity to enjoy the timeless elegance of Regency design in one of Colchester’s most desirable locations.
