This Victorian mid-terrace offers a compact, well-laid-out home in Colchester’s New Town, a few minutes’ walk from the city centre and train station. The property is freehold and provides immediate living space: an open-plan 22 ft lounge/diner, kitchen with garden access, two first-floor bedrooms and a family bathroom.
The house has genuine period character — brick façade, bay window and a cast-iron fireplace — paired with later upgrades such as double glazing and contemporary kitchen fittings. An enclosed rear garden and straightforward town-centre location make it a practical starter home or buy-to-let in a city setting.
Buyers should note the property’s small overall size (approx. 571 sq ft) and solid brick walls likely without cavity insulation. The glazing was installed before 2002 and some internal areas would benefit from modernisation to improve comfort and energy performance. The surrounding area is described as very deprived, so consider local amenities and long-term neighbourhood trends.
Early viewing is recommended for first-time buyers or investors seeking a reasonably priced, centrally located terrace with renovation potential. The layout is traditional and simple, so modest updating or insulation works could add value and reduce running costs.
