Positioned on the highly desirable Audley Road in the West of Colchester, this beautifully presented semi-detached Victorian home perfectly blends period charm with contemporary living. Built in 1900, the property offers an impressive 1,266 sq. ft. of accommodation, thoughtfully designed for modern family life. The property benefits from having no onward chain.
Stepping through the welcoming entrance hall, you’re greeted by a light-filled living room, complete with an elegant bay window, original features, and a characterful fireplace framed by bespoke alcove cabinetry — an inviting space for both entertaining and relaxation.
At the heart of the home lies the extended kitchen and dining area — a true showpiece. The space features sleek granite worktops, a SMEG gas hob, and an electric oven and grill. Bi-folding doors open seamlessly onto the rear garden, flooding the room with natural light and creating an effortless indoor-outdoor flow. The family area benefits from underfloor heating and a vaulted ceiling, adding a sense of spaciousness and warmth.
A versatile third bedroom is located off the hallway, ideal for guests or use as a study. The dining/breakfast room offers additional built-in storage, while a convenient cloakroom completes the ground floor accommodation.
Upstairs, the property comprises three well-proportioned bedrooms, including a principal bedroom fitted with built-in wardrobes. A stylish loft room, with Velux window and eaves storage, provides excellent flexibility as a home office, playroom, or hobby space.
The family bathroom is a true highlight — a luxurious, contemporary wet room featuring a freestanding bathtub, walk-in shower, modern vanity unit, and elegant tiling.
Outside, the property showcases its period heritage with an original Victorian tiled pathway leading to the front door, alongside a private parking space. The west-facing rear garden is a suntrap, featuring a generous patio — perfect for summer dining and entertaining — and a useful garden shed for storage.
Ideally situated, the home is just a short stroll from Crouch Street, home to a selection of independent shops including Gunton’s Delicatessen, a Tesco Express, and a range of popular bars and restaurants. Colchester’s vibrant town centre, with its excellent shopping, leisure facilities, Mercury Theatre, and Firstsite Gallery, is within easy reach, as is the beautiful Castle Park.
Families will also appreciate the close proximity to some of Essex’s most sought-after schools, including St Mary’s School for Girls and Colchester Royal Grammar School. Commuters benefit from convenient access to Colchester train station, offering mainline services to London Liverpool Street in approximately 50 minutes, and the A12 within easy reach.
