This three-bedroom 1930s semi-detached house is a short walk from Colchester city centre and Colchester Town station, offered freehold with no onward chain. The property retains period features such as bay windows and fireplaces and sits on a small plot with a rear garden and a detached double garage accessed from Meadowbrook Court.
The layout includes an entrance hall, bay-fronted living room, separate dining room, kitchen with garden access, three first-floor bedrooms and a bathroom. Mains services (water, drainage, gas, electricity) are understood to be connected and council tax is in a low band (B).
The house requires full modernisation and cosmetic updating throughout — carpets, wallpapers, kitchen and bathroom will need replacement and likely mechanical and electrical upgrades. This is a clear renovation opportunity for buyers who can manage refurbishment costs and timescales.
Important local considerations: the wider area records high crime levels and relative deprivation, which may affect resale and rental demand. Positively, the location suits families and commuters because of nearby schools, shops and fast rail links to London; the detached double garage is a useful rarity in the centre and adds practical value.
