This compact two-bedroom end-of-terrace offers an appealing city-centre location and sensible recent upgrades — ideal for a first-time buyer or city investor. The property has been newly refurbished with a fitted shaker-style kitchen, new bathroom, fresh decoration and carpets, so it’s largely move-in ready. Its freehold tenure and no onward chain make the purchase straightforward.
At about 494 sq ft, the house is modest in size but well laid out over two storeys with a comfortable living room, two bedrooms and a small rear courtyard with off-street parking for one car. Period features, including a Victorian brick façade and an original cast-iron fireplace, give character and scope for tasteful personalisation.
Practical points to note: the building is solid-brick and was constructed before 1900, with assumed lack of wall insulation, an EPC rating of D and a small plot size — energy efficiency improvements could be needed to reduce running costs. The property sits in a busy urban area with high recorded crime levels, though it benefits from excellent mobile signal, fast broadband and easy walking access to Colchester city centre, Colchester North Station and local amenities.
Overall this is a compact, renovated city home that suits buyers wanting a low-fuss purchase close to transport and facilities, or investors seeking a rental in a private-renting neighbourhood. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the layout and nearby conveniences.
