Summary - 71 NORTHGATE STREET COLCHESTER CO1 1EY
3 bed 1 bath Terraced
Compact period home with garden and excellent transport links for first-time buyers.
Walking distance to city centre and both train stations
This three-bedroom Victorian terraced house sits within easy walking distance of Colchester city centre and both train stations, making it ideal for commuters and first-time buyers seeking convenience. Character features such as fireplaces, wooden flooring and sash-style windows give the home period charm, while a modern kitchen and shower room provide everyday practicality.
The layout is compact (approximately 713 sq ft) across two storeys and includes a good-size rear garden — a useful outside space rare for central locations. On-street permit parking keeps car ownership workable for those who need it, and broadband and mobile signal are strong for home working.
There are some important practical considerations: one of the upstairs bedrooms is accessed via the second bedroom, which reduces privacy and flexibility. The property sits in an area described as a cosmopolitan student neighbourhood with very high local crime and wider area deprivation, which may affect long-term desirability for some buyers. EPC is not yet provided and viewers should check energy and maintenance implications.
Overall this house offers an affordable route into central Colchester with period character and good transport links, but it will suit buyers who can accept compact rooms, a linked bedroom layout and the realities of the surrounding area.
