Maldon Road, Colchester, CO3
A Handsome Five Bedroom Double Bay-Fronted Victorian Semi-Detached Home
Location:
Situated within the highly sought-after Maldon Road district, this home is just a stone’s throw from Colchester’s historic city centre. The area is renowned for its charming period homes and strong sense of community, making it especially popular with families. Excellent schooling is within easy reach, including the prestigious Royal Grammar School, alongside a range of well-regarded private and comprehensive options. Colchester’s city centre station provides direct links to London Liverpool Street, ideal for commuters.
Property:
This attractive double bay-fronted Victorian home presents a striking façade, with traditional red brick elevations, decorative detailing, and a symmetrical frontage that reflects its period heritage. A small front garden and steps lead to the entrance, setting the tone for the character found throughout.
Internally, the property offers generous and well-balanced accommodation across three floors.
The sitting room is positioned to the front and features a beautiful bay window, allowing natural light to pour in, alongside a charming cast iron feature fireplace that creates a cosy focal point.
To the rear, the dining room enjoys a wonderful sense of space and light, enhanced by the adjoining orangery. This creates a seamless connection to the garden and provides an ideal setting for entertaining, with views over the outdoor space.
The ground floor also benefits from a cloakroom, adding everyday practicality.
The kitchen is fitted with stylish shaker-style units, complemented by tiled splashbacks and a tiled floor. Integrated Bosch appliances complete the space, making it both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
First Floor & Second Floor:
The upper floors provide five well-proportioned bedrooms, along with family bathroom facilities.
On the second floor, a particularly versatile space has been thoughtfully arranged. Rather than a traditional bedroom, this level offers a living/dining/kitchenette area with a Juliet balcony. This flexible layout lends itself perfectly to multi-generational living, a teenager’s retreat, or an annexe-style setup, offering both independence and privacy.
