Off-street parking; gas central heating and double glazing present

This chain-free first-floor maisonette offers straightforward living with two double bedrooms, a large reception room and a private rear garden — a practical starter home or rental proposition in north-east Colchester. The layout is sensible and the accommodation is overall mid-sized for this property type, with pleasant outlooks over an adjacent greensward.
Key benefits include off-street parking, gas central heating and double glazing already fitted. The property sits close to local shops, bus links, the University of Essex and several schools (mixed Ofsted outcomes), making it convenient for commuters, students or families.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold with around 87 years remaining and will need updating in places. The exterior and some internal fittings appear dated and the glazing was installed before 2002; cosmetic and modernisation work is likely to be required to bring the property up to contemporary expectations.
The wider area scores high on local need indicators and records above-average crime levels; prospective owners should factor neighbourhood conditions into their decision. For investors or first-time buyers willing to invest modestly in improvement, the property offers clear potential thanks to its size, private garden and chain-free status.
