6 Bedroom detached house ● Inglis Road, Lexden ● £1,300,000
A handsome Victorian villa of grand proportions, which was formerly the residence of the Bishop of Colchester, located within the prestigious leafy residential neighbourhood of Lexden.
The property is a ‘double-fronted masterpiece’ with central oriel window constructed with mellow reds in Flemish bond set under an attractive Dutch gable roof, with total accommodation including outbuildings/studio amounting 4661 sq. ft.
Over the past 35 years the property has been maintained to a high standard by the current owners, complementing original features with modern additions such as the kitchen/breakfast room and conversion of the coach house hayloft into an art studio.
The accommodation is set over four levels which comprise: entrance vestibule, impressive entrance hall, sitting room/family room, study/home office, drawing room, kitchen/breakfast room, garden room, cloakroom w/c, L shaped cellar.
An elegant returning staircase ascends a spacious landing with half bay overlooking the rear garden. From here you will access four well-proportioned double bedrooms and a dressing room/further bedroom. There is a family bathroom, which incorporates a useful laundry area, and a separate shower room.
A further staircase leads to the attic which is being currently used as an office, but would easily be another bedroom or playroom. There is ample walk-in eaves storage space.
Outside, the property is approached by an in out block paved driveway that wraps around an elevated brick planter. To the left is a useful space for additional parking whilst to the right is an extensive driveway leading to the converted coach house with space for approx. three cars. Ornamental wrought iron gates secure the driveways and complete the property’s impressive street frontage.
The detached former coach house incorporates an 18.8 x13ft garage which in turn provides access to an inner hall and w/c with stairs leading to the first-floor studio and kitchenette which is flooded with natural light. There is also a potting shed/store which is accessed from the garden.

Without a doubt there are two large driving forces for people moving to the area. The excellent range of private and state schools. The grammar schools annually top the league tables across the country. The range of private schools offer a more tailored education and are exceptionally well sought after. The second, being value for money, although, as the town grows, house prices within the area look to rise steadily within the coming years.
