Horkesley Road, Boxted

Nestled on the desirable Horkesley Road in Colchester, this exceptional semi-detached equestrian property presents a truly unique opportunity for discerning buyers. Seldom does a home of this calibre, combining substantial living accommodation with superb equestrian facilities, become available on the open market. We are delighted to bring to your attention a residence that perfectly balances a tranquil, semi-rural lifestyle with convenient access to Colchester's vibrant town centre and mainline station.
Approaching the property, you are immediately struck by the generous frontage, offering ample parking for multiple vehicles, a practical necessity for any family, especially those with equestrian pursuits. Step inside, and you will find a versatile layout comprising five, potentially six, well-proportioned bedrooms and two bathrooms, ensuring comfort and space for the entire family. The three reception rooms provide flexible living areas, ideal for both everyday family life and entertaining guests. There is also exciting potential to install or convert an annexe, offering further flexibility for multi-generational living or perhaps a home office suite, subject to the necessary consents.
The true heart of this property, however, lies in its impressive outdoor amenities. Spanning approximately 4.25 acres (subject to survey), the grounds are a horse lover's dream. Thoughtfully laid out, they include well-maintained paddock areas, providing ample grazing space for horses. A dedicated manege offers the perfect environment for training and exercise, while the robust stable block, complete with essential tack rooms, ensures your equine companions are housed in comfort and security. This comprehensive setup means you can enjoy your passion for horses right on your doorstep, without the need for external livery.
Beyond the equestrian facilities, the property's location is a significant draw. While offering the peace and quiet of a semi-rural setting, it remains within striking distance of Colchester's main attractions. The mainline station provides direct links to London Liverpool Street, making it an ideal choice for commuters. Furthermore, easy access to the A12 ensures seamless travel to other major towns and cities across Essex and Suffolk. Local amenities, reputable schools, and charming village pubs are all within a short drive, offering the best of both worlds.
This is more than just a house; it is a lifestyle opportunity. Imagine waking up to the sounds of the countryside, enjoying a ride in your own manege, and then easily commuting to work or enjoying Colchester's cultural offerings. This property truly offers premium living without the fuss, reflecting our commitment to integrity and a calm, competent approach. We genuinely believe this home needs to be seen to be fully appreciated. Properties like this, combining such extensive grounds, equestrian facilities, and flexible living space in such a sought-after location, are indeed rarely available. We invite you to experience the charm and potential of this exceptional home for yourself.
