Ground-floor bathroom—convenient but may limit upstairs layout options

EPC D; average energy efficiency—upgrades could improve running costs
Very high local crime rate and area deprivation—important location factor
Small overall size (approx. 517 sq ft); best for first-time buyers
This compact two-bedroom Victorian terrace sits within easy walking distance of Colchester Town Station and the city centre, offering quick links to London and local amenities. The house is chain-free and features period character, two double bedrooms and an enclosed rear garden — an appealing starter-home layout for first-time buyers.
The property has been partially updated with a modern kitchen and double glazing, but it remains small in overall size and would benefit from further improvements to maximise comfort and value. The listing notes a ground-floor bathroom and a boiler with mains gas central heating; the solid brick walls are likely uninsulated, which may affect running costs.
Location is a major strength: shops, schools and Castle Park are nearby, and broadband and mobile signal are strong. However, the area records very high crime and is relatively deprived, which is an important practical consideration. EPC D indicates average energy performance — further insulation or upgrades could reduce bills and improve resale potential.
Early viewing is recommended for buyers wanting a chain-free entry into Colchester with good transport links. This house is best suited to buyers prepared to carry out modest refurbishment to personalise and enhance long-term value.
