Summary - 1 BLENHEIM DRIVE COLCHESTER CO2 0AR
3 bed 2 bath Detached
South Colchester home with garden, garage and parking, ready to personalise.
Three double bedrooms across two floors, adaptable family layout
Set on a quiet Colchester street, this three-bedroom detached house offers roomy, traditional accommodation across two floors with a private driveway and garage. The ground floor includes a separate dining room with sliding doors to an enclosed rear garden, a comfortable lounge, and a fitted kitchen. Upstairs are three double bedrooms and a family bathroom — practical for family life or those needing flexible space.
Practical features include mains gas central heating, double glazing (install date unknown) and fast broadband and mobile signal, supporting modern connectivity and home working. The property is freehold with no flood risk and sits close to good primary and secondary schools, local shops and regular bus routes to Colchester station and the city centre.
There is clear potential to personalise and improve energy performance: the property was built 1900–1929 with solid brick walls likely without cavity insulation and an estimated EPC around 61, so wall insulation and other upgrades would reduce costs and raise comfort. The plot is small and the area shows signs of local deprivation, which may affect longer-term capital growth compared with more affluent neighbourhoods.
Overall this home suits families seeking space and convenience in south Colchester, or buyers looking for a character property to update. Expect straightforward maintenance and some renovation to modernise energy efficiency and internal finishes.
