This mid-terrace three-bedroom house on Prince Philip Road is offered chain-free, making it a straightforward move for first-time buyers or small-family households. The layout includes two reception rooms, a modest kitchen, and a bathroom with a separate WC across two floors, all arranged within a compact 630 sq ft footprint. A south-facing enclosed rear garden provides outdoor space and scope for landscaping or extension (subject to permissions).
The interior is dated and will reward cosmetic updating — carpets, fixtures and some finishes are older and there are wall-mounted/storage gas heaters rather than modern central heating. The property is structurally typical of mid-20th-century terraced houses but requires routine maintenance and modernisation to realise its full potential. Services and appliances have not been tested and a buyer should commission their own surveys.
Positioned about 1.9 miles from Colchester town centre and train station, the house offers convenient access to local shops, bus routes and a mix of nearby primary and secondary schools. The neighbourhood shows higher-than-average crime and local deprivation indicators; buyers should factor this into location suitability and potential rental yields.
At the listed guide of £220,000 and freehold tenure, this home presents a low-entry opportunity for buyers willing to invest time and money into modernisation — either as a primary home or a buy-to-let investment. Key positives are the chain-free sale, three double bedrooms and a good-sized south-facing rear garden; negatives are the small overall living area, dated condition and local area challenges.
