21 Holt Drive

About this property

21 Holt Drive is a delightful cottage set on the fringes of historic Colchester, offering a peaceful getaway with easy reach of the coast and countryside. Blending homely charm with a smart, welcoming finish, it’s an ideal base for families or small groups seeking to explore this scenic part of Essex. Step inside to find a well-appointed kitchen equipped with everything you need to prepare hearty meals, from a coffee maker for slow mornings to a dishwasher that keeps things easy. The adjoining dining area sets the stage for relaxed family dinners, while the living room provides a comfortable place to unwind after a day out, complete with a TV and WiFi for your entertainment.

Upstairs are three inviting bedrooms: a king-size, a flexible zip/link king (which can be made into twins on request), and a single room ideal for a child or solo guest. The family bathroom offers a walk-in shower, basin and WC, while a downstairs cloakroom adds a touch of practicality. Central heating, bed linen and towels are all included, along with a travel cot and highchair for those bringing little ones. Step outside and you’ll find a private patio enclosed for peace of mind, with outdoor furniture and a barbecue ready for those long summer evenings. The highlight, though, is the hot tub, perfect for sinking into after a day exploring.

There’s also off-road parking available on site. Colchester itself is steeped in history, home to a magnificent castle, leafy parks and a great mix of independent shops, cafés and restaurants. Head to Mersea Island for fresh seafood and coastal walks, or take a short drive to Dedham Vale, the heart of Constable Country, to see the landscapes that inspired the artist’s famous paintings. For a classic day at the seaside, Clacton-on-Sea is within easy reach, while London is close enough for a spontaneous city adventure. Whether you’re chasing quiet countryside charm or lively day trips, 21 Holt Drive puts it all within easy reach.

Colchester is a historic, large town in the region of Essex. It has been named as one of the fastest growing towns and is claimed to be the oldest town in Britain. Colchester is 50 miles northeast of London with good links by road and by rail, being less than 50 minutes from London Liverpool Street station, as well as within easy reach of Stansted Airport and from the passenger ferry port of Harwich. The river Colne runs through the town of Colchester which then leads to Mersea Island, home to the Colchester native oyster. Colchester today is a thriving, modern town with great visitor attractions including Colchester Zoo and Colchester Castle, as well as fantastic places to eat, drink and shop. Poised at the gateway to East Anglia with picturesque villages and only paces away from the coast the Colchester area is the perfect destination for a well-deserved short break or family holiday.
