3 bed semi-detached house for sale

Skye Hall Hill, Boxted, Colchester, Essex CO4

Tucked away along the gently rising lane of Skye Hall Hill, High Lift Villas offers an attractive Edwardian residence that blends early 20th-century character with the benefit of later additions. Occupying an elevated position within the village of Boxted, the property enjoys a private plot with mature boundaries, a south-facing garden, and views over the surrounding countryside. Its setting combines a sense of rural peace with convenient access to nearby routes, making it well suited for those seeking both charm and practicality in a semi-rural location.

This attractive Edwardian villa offers well-proportioned accommodation arranged over two floors, retaining key period details while benefitting from a thoughtfully designed extension to the side. The layout has been adapted for modern living, with generous ground floor spaces and a fluid connection between the principal rooms and garden.
A welcoming entrance hall sets the tone for the home, with timber flooring and high ceilings providing a sense of light and scale. The main living area spans the depth of the property, with a bay window to the front and central fireplace forming a natural focal point. This versatile space accommodates both relaxation and dining, with clear zoning and excellent natural light.
The kitchen/breakfast room forms the heart of the home, offering a sociable and practical environment enhanced by rooflights and direct access to the garden. Fitted cabinetry runs along one side, with ample preparation space and views across the outdoor area. A separate utility room provides additional storage and workspace, while a ground floor shower room offers convenience for guests or busy family life.
To the rear, a timber-framed conservatory brings in light throughout the day and offers a pleasant transition between the interior and garden. This space is ideal for year-round enjoyment of the surrounding greenery and the property’s south-facing orientation.
Upstairs, the first floor offers three bedrooms arranged around a central landing, all served by a family bathroom and separate WC. Each room has a pleasant outlook, with the rear-facing bedrooms enjoying open views across the neighbouring countryside. Ceiling heights remain consistent with the Edwardian era, adding to the overall sense of space.
The external setting is a key feature of this home. To the rear, the south-facing garden extends across a lawn with mature borders and screening, offering privacy and a natural backdrop. A detached workshop sits at the far end of the plot, suitable for storage, hobbies, or home working. The front garden is well established, with a path leading to the covered porch and main entrance.
This is a well-located, characterful home that offers a balance of charm, practicality, and outdoor space in a desirable semi-rural setting.
