Part of our Signature collection - Situated in the highly sought-after Lexden area to the West of Colchester, and offered with no onward chain, this beautifully presented 1930’s five-bedroom detached family home combines classic character with modern family living.
With exceptional gardens, ample driveway parking, and charming design features including herringbone brickwork and parquet flooring, ‘Hillside’ offers a wonderful balance of elegance and practicality.
A welcoming entrance hall with beautiful tiled flooring sets the tone for the home, with stairs rising to the first floor and useful storage beneath. A conveniently located ground floor cloakroom adds everyday practicality, while a separate utility room helps keep household tasks neatly tucked away. The generous open-plan kitchen/dining/family room forms the heart of the home—ideal for entertaining, relaxed family time, or hosting gatherings. There is a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces, with French doors opening onto the garden. The living room is a warm and inviting space, beautifully showcasing the home’s period charm with elegant parquet flooring and a character fireplace featuring an inset log burner and oak bressummer, while the additional reception room offers flexibility for home working, playroom or more formal occasions.
The landing benefits from a front aspect window and loft access. The principal bedroom enjoys views over the rear garden and features an ensuite shower room. Bedroom two also benefits from its own ensuite, while three further well-proportioned bedrooms provide flexibility for family, guests, or home office space.
The family bathroom is well-equipped with a bath and shower over, alongside useful storage cupboards.
