This home on Lakeside Walk is a remarkable find and has been a cherished family home since the current owner moved here in 2005.One of seven Victorian-inspired square homes overlooking the lake, its beautifully designed gables and sash-effect windows create a simply stunning first impression.

Follow Church Lane, just off Villa Road and turn off the roundabout, heading towards the lake, down the tree-lined Lakeside Walk, to reveal this delightful Victorian-style property standing proudly on the right-hand side of the no-through road with stunning lake views. This substantial red-brick home nestles in the centre of charming, easily maintained grounds.

"We were instantly attracted by the lake and nearby trails when we first saw the house. Having unspoilt views that transform with the seasons is a true luxury."

Standing within a picturesque location in the village of Stanway, this remarkable house really does have the best of both worlds. The sought-after village situated to the desirable Western side of Colchester is home to a thriving local community, full of social clubs and friendliness - there is something for everyone to enjoy.

Make your way to the elegant front door, where those first impressions are well-met and walk into a light-filled entrance hall. The classically styled, bright and welcoming hallway with under-heated, porcelain-tiled flooring provides warmth to each step. Take a moment to admire the gloriously high ceilings which lead to all the principal reception rooms including dining room, sitting room, kitchen, home office, ground floor WC and utility room.

From the hallway, the dining room with its beautiful oak-effect Karndean Art Select floors and classic features sits ready and waiting to house the biggest of tables for nights full of family dinners and entertainment.

The living room with its large windows and picturesque views, more Karndean flooring, elegant Victorian-style feature fireplace (just the ticket for cosy nights in) and a host of period-style features, is the perfect spot to relax and unwind. There is room for the biggest of entertainment systems and French doors open out onto that glorious garden beyond, bringing a real sense of the outside, in. There is plenty of room for seating and the neutral décor reflects the abundance of natural light present in this elegant space.

Those light, neutral tones seen throughout this home give a great sense of flow and ensure this room is a cosy, calm place to bed down for the night.

Bedrooms three and four share views through large windows over the front and of the property and the views over the lake through the window in bedroom three is a joy to behold with lake views. They are classic, elegant and brimming with natural light, making them perfect for children's' or guest bedrooms alike.
