A three-bedroom end-of-terrace townhouse offering a compact but well-arranged layout and a private rear garden. The property is presented in good order with an en suite to the master, a separate cloakroom and large rear living room opening onto the lawn and patio — useful for families or first-time buyers seeking outside space and off-street parking via the carport.
The house is chain-free and freehold, built around the late 1990s/early 2000s with cavity walls and double glazing installed before 2002. Heating is mains-gas boiler with radiators and the accommodation includes a fitted kitchen, family bathroom and useful storage cupboards. At about 725 sq ft the home is modest in size but benefits from a decent plot and a practical, traditional layout.
Notable considerations: the property sits in a high-crime neighbourhood classification and local broadband speeds are reported slow — factors that may affect commuting from home or rental appeal to some tenants. The glazing and some fittings date from early installations and may need updating over time. Despite these points, its location in an area popular with students could present rental or shared-occupancy potential for investors.
Local schools include a mix of state and independent options, including at least one highly rated primary and a nearby good secondary school. Transport links and local amenities are within easy reach in Colchester, making this a convenient base for working professionals, families and investors prepared to accept the area’s local challenges.
