This two-bedroom Victorian semi-detached house on New Town Road offers a straightforward, affordable entry into Colchester’s city living. With 769 ft² of living space, period features such as a front bay window and brickwork give character, while contemporary touches in the living room create a bright, usable ground floor. The property is freehold and close to shops, schools and transport — practical for first-time buyers seeking convenience.
The layout includes an open-plan living/dining area with a bay window, a functional kitchen with a rear extension providing extra space, and two double bedrooms served by one modern family bathroom. The home is an average-sized, efficiently arranged property that will suit couples or small families wanting a manageable maintenance footprint and good broadband speeds for home working.
Notable positives are its freehold tenure, fast broadband, cheap council tax band, and no flooding risk. Practical drawbacks are clear: on-street parking only, a small plot and rear garden, and a local area profile with higher crime levels — factors buyers should weigh for everyday convenience and security. There is visible renovation potential if you want to personalise or increase value, but any work should be factored into your budget.
Overall, this property suits first-time buyers or investors looking for a period home with character in a central Colchester location. It offers ready-to-live-in comfort with scope for improvement, placed close to good primary schools and everyday amenities.
