This compact Victorian terraced house sits a short walk from Colchester city centre and the mainline station, offering strong convenience for commuters and local families. Recently decorated and panelled throughout, the property combines period character with updated, modern finishes in the kitchen and bathrooms. A south-facing, fully enclosed garden and off-street residential permit parking add practical outdoor space and ease of day-to-day living.
Internally the layout provides multiple reception rooms and separate kitchen space, plus two bathrooms including an en suite off the principal bedroom. Broadband speeds and mobile signal are excellent, making the house well-suited to home working or streaming. The property falls in the Hamilton Primary School catchment, a clear draw for families with young children.
Buyers should note a few important practical points: the overall plot and room sizes are small, so storage and entertaining space are limited compared with larger family homes. Local crime levels are reported as high for the area, which may concern some purchasers. Also, there is an inconsistency in the supplied marketing text about the number of bedrooms — the dataset lists three bedrooms while parts of the description refer to a two-bedroom layout, so interested buyers should verify room count and configuration in person.
Offered freehold with relatively low council tax, this property suits first-time buyers or young families seeking a well-presented, city-centre-adjacent home with good transport links and schooling nearby. Investors looking for a city rental should also consider the location, though room size and local crime should factor into yield and tenant profiling decisions.
