Three-bedroom semi-detached home in quiet Lexden cul-de-sac, with scope to modernise and extend
Nestled in the peaceful and highly regarded area of Lexden, this three-bedroom semi-detached home offers the perfect blend of charm, comfort and convenience – along with exciting potential for modernisation and further development. Located in a quiet residential close, this home is ideal for families, first-time buyers, or anyone seeking a tranquil lifestyle within easy reach of Colchester’s vibrant city centre.
While the property has been well maintained, it would now benefit from modernisation and cosmetic redecoration throughout, offering an excellent opportunity for buyers looking to personalise their living space.
Ground Floor
An entrance hall leads into a spacious, dual-aspect lounge/dining room. Warm, neutral décor and a feature fireplace create a homely feel, while large windows and a door to the garden allow natural light to pour in throughout the day. The kitchen is fitted with a range of units and provides good workspace, with direct access to the rear garden.
First Floor
Upstairs, the home offers three well-proportioned bedrooms. The main bedroom is a generous double, with a second double room and a third that would work well as a child’s bedroom, guest room or home office. The family bathroom features a white suite with bath and overhead shower, and there is a separate WC.
Outside
The rear garden is a standout feature – a sizeable and well-kept outdoor space with mature planting, a lawned section for children to play, and a patio area for al fresco dining. To the front, there is a garden and driveway parking with access to a single detached garage.
Further Potential
The property also offers considerable potential to extend to the side, subject to the usual planning permissions. Many neighbouring homes have already created larger four-bedroom houses with integrated garages and 2 parking spaces in this way, making this a compelling option for those looking to grow into the space or add value over time.
Location
Roddam Close is situated in one of Colchester’s most desirable residential areas. Lexden is renowned for its excellent schools – including Colchester Royal Grammar School and Colchester County High School for Girls – and offers easy access to local parks, shops, and transport links. The A12 is just a short drive away for commuters, and Colchester train station provides regular services into London Liverpool Street.
