A spacious three-bedroom mid-terraced Victorian house in Harwich, offered chain-free and within easy walking distance of the town centre, seafront and railway station. The property’s bay windows and high ceilings retain period character while three reception rooms give flexible living and good room sizes for family life or shared rental.
Practical positives include double glazing (fitted post-2002), mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, and a small enclosed rear garden with patio and decking. The layout includes an entrance hall, lounge, dining room, breakfast room, kitchen and a single bathroom serving three bedrooms — useful for buyers wanting immediate occupancy or cosmetic updating.
Buyers should note material drawbacks honestly. The property sits in a very deprived area with high local crime rates and limited wider-area affluence; this will affect resale values and lettability in some market segments. The solid brick walls are assumed to lack cavity insulation and the house will likely benefit from upgrading and modernisation throughout. The rear garden and overall plot are small, and the property is not registered at the Land Registry (your conveyancer will advise on this).
This house suits first-time buyers seeking an affordable, characterful home near the sea, or investors looking for a low-entry buy-to-let with refurbishment potential. A sensible budget for modernization and security improvements is recommended to maximise comfort and future value.
