Boutique Home & Private Garden | City Escape | House in Colchester
3 Bedroom House in Colchester
A boutique, minimalist home on the quiet edge of Colchester - Britain's oldest recorded town. Thoughtfully designed with a muted palette, expensive artwork and quality finishes throughout, Poppies offers a genuinely elevated self-catered stay. A private garden with seating and loungers, free driveway parking and fast WiFi make it as practical as it is stylish. Managed by SIB Properties.
The whole place will be yours to enjoy!
Poppies is on the outskirts of Colchester with public transport links to the town and further afield.
Colchester has been continuously occupied for over 2,000 years - Britain's oldest recorded town, with a Norman castle, Roman walls and a town centre worth a proper afternoon. Poppies sits on the quieter edge of it, offering the calm of a residential setting with easy access to everything by car or bus.
The interior has been designed with a clear aesthetic in mind. A muted palette of greys and beiges, carefully chosen artwork and quality finishes throughout give the house a boutique feel that's genuinely rare in self-catered accommodation. Three well-proportioned bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms and an open-plan living and kitchen space that feels considered rather than assembled. The kind of place where the details have been thought about.
Luxury linens, a fully equipped kitchen and a dedicated workspace mean it works equally well for a leisure stay or a longer work trip - though the overall feel is firmly that of somewhere you'd choose for a break rather than just a base.
Outside, the private garden carries the same calm, clean aesthetic as the interior - seating and sun loungers in a space that feels like a natural extension of the house rather than an afterthought.
Colchester town centre, the castle and independent restaurants are a short drive or bus ride away. Mersea Island - one of Essex's best kept secrets for oysters, sailing and coastal walks - is under 30 minutes. Dedham Vale and the wider Essex coast are equally accessible for day trips.
Managed by SIB Properties, a specialist short-let management company covering Essex and Suffolk.
