A substantial seven-bedroom home with its own indoor pool, cinema, and 1.6-acre grounds has come onto the market in one of Colchester’s most sought-after areas.

The detached property on Lexden Road is listed for £2.5 million with estate agents Fenn Wright and forms part of the firm’s “signature collection” of high-end homes.

Extending to around 8,500 sq ft, the house offers extensive living space across multiple reception rooms, alongside leisure facilities including a gym, cinema room, and indoor swimming pool overlooking the garden.

Inside, the property opens into a large reception hall with a galleried landing and wine cellar below.
