Chain-free two-bedroom semi-detached home

Chain-free two-bedroom semi in Stanway, offering generous living space and rare allocated parking to the rear. The ground floor has two reception rooms, kitchen and a downstairs bathroom, while upstairs provides two double bedrooms — one with a dressing room and a large shower room. At about 786 sq ft, the layout suits first-time buyers or couples seeking easy access to local schools and the A12.
Practical benefits include off-street allocated parking, a gated front garden, mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, double glazing (install date unknown) and good mobile and broadband connectivity. Nearby amenities include Tolgate retail park, multiple good and outstanding schools, bus links and everyday services, making daily life straightforward.
Important considerations: the property dates from c.1900–1929 and cavity walls are assumed uninsulated, so energy performance is modest (EPC E) and further insulation or upgrades may be needed. The plot is small and the area shows higher-than-average deprivation metrics; crime level is average. Buyers should budget for modernisation and potential energy-efficiency improvements if reduction in running costs is a priority.
Overall this is a practical, chain-free starter home in a well-connected part of Colchester. It offers clear scope for cosmetic improvement and energy upgrades to increase comfort and future value, while delivering convenient parking and easy access to schools and transport.
