The home was last sold in September 2009 for £955,000.

The photographs show a spacious home with large windows letting in masses of natural light.

The Lexden suburb has a huge history involving conflict and the Roman Empire.

It was traditionally an agricultural town, with Lexden Road being at the forefront as it was the main road for all traffic heading to Clacton, Frinton, Walton and Harwich until the 1930s.

A spokesman for Jackson-Stops in Colchester described the house and said: “Descending the stairs to lower ground floors a rear porch opens to a capacious and fully comprehensive kitchen/dining and living area which is perfect for entertaining.

“From the lower hall an original curved leather door leads to the lower level which has its own external access from the front.

“Here you will find a large reception room and second kitchen with both rooms lending to a possible annex facility.

“Ascending the stairs to a split level first floor landing your eyes are drawn to an impressive arched sash window which frames views of the rear garden.

“Outside the property is set back from Lexden Road and is approached by a private driveway offering ample off road parking," added the estate agents spokesman.
