Summary - 5 MONTBRETIA CLOSE STANWAY COLCHESTER CO3 0RB
2 bed 1 bath Terraced Bungalow
Chain-free two-bedroom bungalow in Stanway — modernisation potential; sold at auction with buyer fees.
Chain-free end-of-terrace bungalow, single-storey living
A chain-free, two-bedroom end-of-terrace bungalow positioned in a quiet Stanway cul-de-sac, offering straightforward single-storey living and easy access to local shops, schools and the A12. The home sits on a decent plot with a west-facing enclosed garden and single off-street parking — practical for downsizers or those seeking low-stairs accommodation.
The accommodation is compact (approx. 453 sq ft) with a lounge/diner, small kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom. The layout and finishes are dated in places, particularly the kitchen, so there’s clear scope to modernise and add value. Heating is gas-fired to radiators and windows are double glazed (installed before 2002).
Important sale terms: the property is offered through a Modern Method of Auction. Bidders should expect an undisclosed reserve, a non-refundable reservation fee (4.5% of purchase price, minimum £6,600 inc. VAT) plus buyer administration costs. Completion is required within 56 days and buyers must complete identification and funding checks. These auction costs are significant and will add to the purchase price.
Suitable for someone wanting a low-maintenance ground-floor home near amenities or an investor prepared to refurbish and manage an auction purchase. Prospective buyers should obtain their own surveys and factor auction fees and a potentially quick completion timetable into their plans.
