Summary - 188 GREENSTEAD ROAD COLCHESTER CO1 2SQ
2 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Affordable entry-level home near station and city centre.
Two reception rooms plus fitted galley kitchen
A compact two-bedroom semi-detached home on Greenstead Road offering an affordable entry to Colchester living. The property has two reception rooms, a fitted galley kitchen and a courtyard-style rear garden that is low maintenance and private. Its location close to the railway station and city centre suits commuters and first-time buyers seeking convenience.
Internally the rooms are efficiently arranged but modest in size (approximately 405 sq ft overall). The house retains period character externally and benefits from a modern kitchen and double glazing, yet the layout and footprint are best suited to buyers wanting an economical starter home or a rental investment. The freehold tenure is a practical advantage.
Notable issues are set out plainly: the overall property and plot are small, the local area scores as deprived with a high crime indicator, and walls are assumed cavity construction with no added insulation indicated. These points affect running costs, comfort and long‑term improvement needs. The price band reflects the size and required updating potential, making the house suitable for buyers who accept compact living or are prepared to invest in upgrades.
For a first-time buyer this is an accessible purchase close to transport and local amenities. For an investor the property’s location and low entry price offer rental potential but factor in maintenance, possible insulation works and the neighbourhood profile when assessing yields.
