This well-presented three-bedroom semi-detached house on Chitts Hill offers an affordable route into Colchester via shared ownership (45%). The compact 649 sq ft layout is arranged over two levels with a bright open-plan living/dining room that opens onto a private rear garden with patio and raised decking — good for small-family outdoor use and entertaining.
The property’s practical features include a modern fitted kitchen, downstairs cloakroom, built-in bedroom storage, gas central heating and double glazing. Off-road parking for several cars sits to the front, and broadband speeds are reported as fast, making the home suitable for remote working or streaming.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold property offered as shared ownership (45% share) with 987 years remaining; the tenure suits first-time buyers seeking lower upfront costs but carries the usual shared-ownership considerations. The house is modest in overall footprint (small total area) and has a single family bathroom, which may feel tight for larger households. Local crime levels are reported as high — advisable to check local safety data and visit at different times.
Location strengths include proximity to Stanway retail amenities, several well-rated schools, and convenient road and rail links into Colchester and London. The straightforward, low-maintenance presentation means minimal immediate refurbishment is likely, making this a practical starter home or a mid-market rental option.
