Summary - 22 West Street CO2 7BG
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Chain-free two-bedroom home with conservatory and evening-sun garden.
Walking distance to Colchester station and city centre
A well-located two-bedroom Victorian terrace offering easy walking access to Colchester station and the city centre. The ground floor flows from a welcoming lounge/diner into a conservatory that overlooks a pretty, low-maintenance garden which catches the evening sun. The property is offered chain free and has had a new roof in recent years.
The first floor has a large main bedroom and a generous bathroom — a useful layout for a couple or first-time buyer needing straightforward accommodation close to transport and local amenities. Double glazing and mains gas central heating provide everyday comfort, while the home retains period character in a mid-terrace setting built in the 1930s–40s.
Practical points to note: the building is solid-brick and likely lacks cavity insulation, so upgrading wall insulation would improve comfort and running costs. The garden and conservatory are a clear plus, but the plot is small and outdoor space is limited. The neighbourhood is a cosmopolitan, student-influenced area with higher local crime statistics — worth considering for buyers prioritising a very quiet residential street.
Overall this is a sensible, affordable purchase for a first-time buyer or investor seeking a well-positioned, chain-free home with straightforward scope for small improvements. The size (around 844 sq ft) and proximity to schools and amenities make it practical for everyday life, with potential upside from modest refurbishment work.
