SCROLLING through houses on property sites can be fun, especially if you are looking at some of the most expensive in the Colchester area

From looking over mansions and county estates to beach getaways and a cabin in the woods, there’s a dream home out there for every personality.

If you were looking at what one of the most expensive ones is in the Colchester area then you would find a property on Lexden Road.

It is listed by Savills for a price of £1,380,000 and is described as a "beautifully presented Regency family home" with five bedrooms.

On its Savills page, it says: "A beautifully presented Regency family home occupying a prime central position providing luxury accommodation and a landscaped north-west facing walled garden.

"No 33 Lexden Road has retained its original elegant classical Regency features associated with its period of architecture, including beautifully proportioned large windows and high ceilings, original cornicing and plasterwork and its marble fireplaces."

The property is arranged over three floors with the lower ground floor containing the kitchen/breakfast room, a sitting room, a pantry and a wine cellar.

The kitchen is fitted with bespoke units, workspace and appliances which is described as being "elegant in its simplicity".

Meanwhile, on the ground floor of the property, you can find a dining room and drawing room, with separating doors that can allow the two rooms to be combined for entertaining.

Additionally, there is a cloakroom and by the rear staircase access can be gained to a former stable block converted to provide a utility room, a garage and a walk-in storage room.

An elegant staircase then leads to the first floor providing five bedrooms, two of which have en suites, and a "luxury family bathroom".

Externally, the property occupies a generous, rectangular-shaped plot set well back from the road over an extensive shingle driveway which provides off-road parking for several cars.

To the right-hand side of the house is a garage and a wood store and the north-west facing garden has a private terrace ideal for summer entertaining.
