Shared rear garden; private rear access and small shed

Area has above-average crime and is relatively deprived
Solid brick walls likely without modern cavity insulation
This roomy first-floor maisonette offers a compact, practical home or buy-to-let in central Colchester. The bright living room with a 1930s bay window gives real character, while the generous bedroom and loft access add useful space for storage or conversion. Off-street parking and access to a shared rear garden increase everyday convenience.
The property is leasehold with 101 years remaining and is offered at a guide price reflecting its investment potential and need for some updating. The kitchen and bathroom are functional but modest in scale; a programme of modernisation would increase comfort and long-term value. Solid brick construction suggests traditional character, but walls likely lack modern insulation.
Location is a key strength: close to town-centre amenities, good schools, and Hythe (Essex) station for easy commuting. Broadband and mobile signals are strong. Note the local area is relatively deprived and has above-average crime statistics, which buyers should factor into pricing and rental expectations.
Overall this maisonette suits a first-time buyer seeking an affordable central Colchester property or an investor targeting steady rental demand. Viewings are advised to assess the internal layout and scope for improvement firsthand.
