Description
An exceptional Victorian residence in the sought-after and historic area of Lexden, within walking distance of Colchester town centre. This distinguished, character-filled home offers over 2,700 sq ft of well-arranged living space across three floors, complemented by beautifully landscaped south-facing gardens. Situated on Creffield Road, this immaculately maintained semi-detached property benefits from excellent local amenities, highly regarded schools, and superb transport links—just 2 miles from Colchester mainline station, making it ideal for London commuters. Featuring classic red brick with white timber detailing, elegant sash windows, and lofty ceilings, the home is filled with natural light and period charm.
Inside, a grand hallway welcomes you, leading to two spacious reception rooms on either side, both boasting original fireplaces and plenty of seating space. Brass light switches throughout enhance the character. At the rear is a bright and open-plan kitchen/dining/family area, cleverly designed to maximise space and functionality. A conservatory brings in extra natural light and provides a relaxing space during warmer months. A separate utility room adds further convenience.
The first floor hosts three generously sized double bedrooms, each with original features such as fireplaces and wooden flooring. The largest bedroom includes built-in wardrobes and a spacious en-suite. A stylish four-piece family bathroom with brass fixtures and a heated towel rail serves the other rooms.
The top floor features the master bedroom, thoughtfully reconfigured to include a full-length walk-in wardrobe, along with another four-piece bathroom and a fifth bedroom—ideal as a guest room or home office.

STAYING SAFE ONLINE:
While most people genuinely aim to assist you in finding your next home, despite our best efforts there will unfortunately always be a small number of fraudsters attempting to deceive you into sharing personal information or handing over money. We strongly advise that you always view a property in person before making any payments, particularly if the advert is from a private individual. If visiting the property isn’t possible, consider asking someone you trust to view it on your behalf. Be cautious, as fraudsters often create a sense of urgency, claiming you need to transfer money to secure a property or book a viewing.
