This attractive Grade II listed Georgian townhouse occupies three floors in the heart of Colchester, a short walk from Castle Park, shops and the station. The house delivers generous room sizes throughout — including four large double bedrooms, two spacious reception rooms and a substantial kitchen/breakfast room — all arranged around a compact, private courtyard garden. Off‑street parking for up to two cars is a rare central‑location benefit.
The interior blends period character (high ceilings, sash windows and exposed beams) with contemporary fittings: a bespoke kitchen, modern shower room, family bathroom and an en‑suite. The largest bedroom on the second floor offers flexible space for a playroom, home office or master suite. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal suit professionals who work from home.
Buyers should note material constraints: the Grade II listing will restrict alterations and may complicate refurbishment or extension. The property sits in a higher‑crime, economically deprived city centre area, and council tax is above average. Some fabric issues to consider include assumed lack of wall insulation, older double glazing (pre‑2002) and typical maintenance needs for a period property.
Overall this is a substantial, characterful town residence for families or professionals seeking a roomy, centrally located home with parking — provided you accept listed‑building limitations and town‑centre realities.
