Summary - 23 THE AVENUE WIVENHOE COLCHESTER CO7 9AQ
1 bed 1 bath Maisonette
Chain-free one-bedroom flat close to station, waterfront and local schools.
Chain-free ground-floor maisonette with private front and rear gardens
A chain-free, ground-floor one-bedroom maisonette with private front and secluded rear gardens, ideal for a first-time buyer seeking outside space and easy travel links. The living room opens to a conservatory that brings extra light and usable space, and the property benefits from gas central heating and double glazing installed after 2002.
The layout is compact at about 535 sq ft, so it's best suited to someone wanting a manageable home or a buy-to-let purchase. The long lease (981 years) removes a common leasehold concern, but note the tenure is leasehold. The building dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s and presents clear potential for modernisation to add value and personalise the interior.
Practical points: the walls are cavity-built with assumed no added insulation, so upgrading thermal performance could be a worthwhile improvement. There is a separate shower room and modest kitchen; overall room sizes read as small-to-average. The location is a strong selling point — minutes from the mainline station (direct services to London), nearby university, waterfront and well-rated local primary schools.
In short, this is a compact, well-located ground-floor home with private gardens and clear scope for cosmetic and energy-efficiency improvements. It will suit a first-time buyer wanting outside space and convenience, or an investor seeking a lettable property with straightforward uplift potential.
