This three-bedroom 1930s semi-detached home on Smythies Avenue offers a practical family layout close to Colchester city centre and mainline rail links. The property benefits from a bay-fronted lounge, modern kitchen with integrated appliances, and a ground-floor bathroom, arranged over two floors to suit everyday family life. The main bedroom includes fitted wardrobes and there are seven rooms in total across approximately 835 sq ft.
Externally the house sits on a small plot with a good-sized rear garden that starts with a patio and leads to a lawn with mature shrub borders, plus off-street parking for one to two cars at the front. The freehold tenure and straightforward layout make this an easy-to-manage home for first-time buyers or growing families who want proximity to schools, shops and transport.
Practical points to note: the property sits in an area with high local crime statistics and a wider area classed as deprived, which may affect resale and insurance costs. There is a single bathroom only, and the plot is modest in size compared with some neighbouring homes. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, council tax is described as affordable, and there is no flood risk.
Overall this home delivers sensible living space in a convenient city location with good schools nearby and transport links into London. It will suit buyers seeking an established family home with immediate move-in potential and scope to personalise over time.
