Summary - 87 CANTERBURY ROAD COLCHESTER CO2 7RY
2 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Victorian semi close to station — ideal starter home or buy-to-let with refurbishment potential.
Two bedrooms and separate dining room, plus a sizeable rear garden
This Victorian two-bedroom semi-detached house sits on Canterbury Road, just on the edge of Colchester’s historic city centre. The property offers a separate dining room, a generous lounge and a well-proportioned rear garden — practical spaces for everyday living or rental occupation. Its location gives easy walking access to local shops, schools and Colchester Town station (around 0.5 miles).
The home is presented as a sound period terrace with character features and a modest footprint (approximately 679 sq ft). It is freehold, has mains gas central heating via a boiler and radiators, and double glazing fitted before 2002. Council tax is low and the area is relatively affluent with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, which supports commuter and rental demand.
Buyers should note a few material points: the wall construction is cavity brick with no added insulation assumed, the double glazing is older, and the house will likely benefit from modernisation in places to meet current energy and comfort expectations. The plot is small, and street parking is on-street only. These factors present straightforward refurbishment potential rather than structural alarm.
Overall, this property will suit first-time buyers wanting a centrally located starter home, downsizers seeking manageable accommodation near amenities, or investors looking for a well-connected buy-to-let with room for value-adding improvements.
