Boydens are delighted to offer for sale this outstanding example of Edwardian architecture, enviably positioned on one of Colchester’s most prestigious and sought-after roads. Set within an impressive half-acre plot, this distinguished four-bedroom residence harmoniously blends period elegance with modern-day practicality, creating a superb family home.

Built in 1907 and understood to be among the earliest properties constructed in the area, the home retains an abundance of original character features. A striking stained-glass entrance door, complemented by matching side panels, allows natural light to cascade into the welcoming entrance vestibule, complete with solid oak flooring and an elegant turning staircase rising to the first floor.

The principal reception rooms — a formal drawing room and a separate sitting room — both enjoy attractive bay windows overlooking the beautifully landscaped rear garden and feature charming period detailing. A secondary hallway provides access to a pantry, storage cupboard and cloakroom, along with convenient side access. This leads through to a generously proportioned kitchen/dining room, thoughtfully designed to serve as the heart of the home. A glazed roof and French doors flood the space with natural light and open directly onto the garden, offering an ideal setting for entertaining and al fresco dining. The ground floor accommodation is further enhanced by a dual-aspect home office.

To the first floor are four well-proportioned double bedrooms. Originally configured as five bedrooms, the principal suite has been reconfigured to incorporate a spacious en-suite shower room. A family bathroom and separate W.C. complete the upper floor. The landing is illuminated by a remarkable stained-glass window which aligns with the sun at the summer solstice — a distinctive and beautiful architectural feature.

Externally, the property benefits from off-road parking leading to a garage. The front garden is graced by a magnificent mature Indian Bean Tree, planted by the current owners many years ago. Gated side access leads to the rear garden, which is predominantly laid to lawn with a generous patio area. Beyond this lies a charming “secret garden” with winding pathways and an ornamental pond, providing a tranquil haven for wildlife. A variety of mature planting ensures colour and interest throughout the seasons.
