Location Situated on the Lexden/Stanway border just 2 miles from Colchester City Centre. King Coel Road is a hidden gem located between London Road and Halstead Road. It is perfectly located for a number of Schools with good and outstanding Ofsted, including Colchester Royal Grammar School, Colchester County High School for Girls, Philip Morant, St Benedict's, Holmwood House Independent School, St Mary's, Colchester High School, and Stanway Primary/Secondary School.
Within walking distance is a small parade of shops and the wonderful local pub The Lexden Crown. A short drive away is the Tollgate shopping centre with a large Sainsbury's superstore, Tollgate Retail Park and access to the A12 trunk road. For the commuter, Colchester and Marks Tey railway stations are a short drive away, offering direct links to London Liverpool Street, Norwich and Ipswich.
History The house was originally built as a large residence surrounded by gardens, orchards, and fields that now form part of the Peace Road development. Over the years, the property was split into two family homes, and due to the way, the other properties and roads were constructed, its imposing façade can now be viewed from the large established garden, overlooking the peaceful and relaxing gardens and wildlife from the lounge. This backs on to what used to be known as King Coel's Kitchen, an amphitheatre during Roman times that was revived during the Victorian era as an Opera House. It is, in essence, a hidden jewel, and the house is now back to front.
