A spacious extended three-bedroom Victorian terrace offered with no onward chain in the Dutch Quarter, within easy walking distance of Colchester city centre, Castle Park and both Town and North train stations. The generous layout includes a lounge opening to a dining room, a snug with French doors onto a low-maintenance rear garden, and a converted loft room with a Velux window — useful as a study or occasional bedroom. On-street permit parking is available to the front.
The house is immediately liveable but shows its age in places: the kitchen is narrow and dated, and the property will benefit from modernisation throughout. The solid brick walls are assumed to have no added cavity insulation, and the EPC is rated D, so buyers should budget for energy-efficiency improvements and potential updates to heating or electrics over time. There is a single family bathroom serving three bedrooms.
This property suits first-time buyers wanting space and central location, or investors targeting rental demand close to the city centre and stations. Note the local context: the area is classified as a cosmopolitan student neighbourhood within a wider ‘hampered aspiration’ and records very high crime levels; buyers should factor neighbourhood conditions and on-street parking restrictions into their plans. Early viewing is recommended to assess condition and potential improvements in person.
