Regents Close, Highwoods, Colchester, Essex, CO4

Listed 2 Oct 2026 · price reduced 10 Oct 2026 · Colchester
A characterful three-bedroom Victorian end-of-terrace home in Mile End, combining two separate reception rooms with a well-finished kitchen, a long west-facing rear garden and gated off-road parking.
Period features remain an important part of the house, including fireplaces to both reception rooms and a log burner in the front lounge, while the ground-floor bathroom and separate first-floor WC make the layout particularly practical.
Positioned on Nayland Road in North Colchester, the property is well placed for Colchester North Station, local schooling including Myland Community Primary School and The Trinity School, Colchester General Hospital and access to the A12.
Some More Information - The front lounge has plenty of character, with an exposed brick hearth, substantial timber mantel and log burner forming the focal point of the room. A large front window provides good natural light, while the current layout demonstrates there is still comfortable space for a full-size sofa and additional furniture.
Behind this is a separate dining room, giving the house a genuine second reception space. A further period-style fireplace remains in place, with the staircase rising from this room and useful space beneath.
Continuing towards the rear, the galley-style kitchen is fitted with shaker-style cabinetry, timber work surfaces and a ceramic butler sink. Integrated AEG cooking appliances sit alongside an induction hob and extractor, with tiled splashbacks and patterned flooring completing the space. A side door provides direct access outside.
Positioned beyond the kitchen, the ground-floor bathroom has been finished in keeping with the character of the house. A freestanding roll-top bath has a rainfall shower over and glazed screen, complemented by a high-level cistern WC, pedestal wash basin, metro tiling, patterned flooring and heated towel rail. Both the bathroom and w.c benefit from underfloor heating.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom occupies the front of the house and provides a comfortable main bedroom with built-in storage. Two further bedrooms sit towards the rear, while a separate first-floor WC with wash basin is a particularly useful addition.
Externally - The west-facing rear garden is one of the property's standout features, extending a considerable distance behind the house and providing far more than simply a courtyard-style outside space.
A paved seating area immediately behind the property provides room for outdoor furniture before the garden continues onto a long lawn, with established planting and mature trees adding interest further down.
Towards the far end is additional garden storage, beyond which double gates provide access to an off-road parking area. Vehicular access is approached from the private lane off Fords Lane, allowing parking away from Nayland Road.
As an end-of-terrace, the property also benefits from gated pedestrian access alongside the house.
Location - Nayland Road is situated in Mile End, on the northern side of Colchester, with good access to Colchester North railway station, Colchester General Hospital, the city centre and the A12.
For families, Myland Community Primary School is a well-established local primary, while The Trinity School provides a secondary school within Mile End itself. The Gilberd School is another secondary option in North Colchester, with Colchester County High School for Girls and Colchester Royal Grammar School also located within the wider city.
Colchester North railway station provides direct mainline services towards Chelmsford and London Liverpool Street, while local bus routes connect Mile End with the station and Colchester City Centre.
Everyday amenities are available locally, with Turner Rise Retail Park also within easy reach for supermarket and retail facilities. A wider choice of shopping, restaurants and leisure facilities can be found in Colchester City Centre.
For road travel, the A12 is readily accessible, providing connections south towards Chelmsford and the M25 and north towards Ipswich. Mile End Recreation Ground and other open spaces across North Colchester provide further options for recreation close to home.
