Summary - Hawkins Road, Colchester CO2 8XY
4 bed 3 bath Town House
Ideal for investors seeking strong student rental demand near campus.
Three-storey freehold end-terrace with modern finishes
Set across three floors, this end-of-terrace townhouse sits a short walk from the University of Essex and Colchester city centre, offering strong rental appeal in a predominantly student neighbourhood. The property is freehold, with an open-plan ground floor, private rear garden and allocated off-street parking — practical features that let it perform well for lettings or shared housing.
The layout includes a master bedroom with en suite, two further double bedrooms and a versatile fourth room suitable as a study or small bedroom, plus a modern cloakroom and family bathroom. Contemporary finishes and good natural light throughout create a low-maintenance living environment attractive to students and young professionals.
This house benefits from very low flood risk, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, supporting high tenant demand for connectivity. Local amenities, transport links to London and multiple schools nearby add to long-term appeal for mixed-tenancy or professional sharers.
Buyers should note the area records higher-than-average crime levels and is classified as a cosmopolitan, multicultural student neighbourhood; that profile supports rental returns but may deter some long-term owner-occupiers. The property is presented as move-in ready, though buyers seeking family-oriented suburbs may prefer quieter, less student-focused locations.
