Summary - 22 HIGH STREET EARLS COLNE COLCHESTER CO6 2PA
2 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Character-filled town centre home with outbuilding potential and fast broadband.
• Grade II listed period cottage with exposed beams and sash-style windows
• Two double bedrooms and two reception rooms, compact room sizes
• Rear outbuilding with power, water and light — potential office/annexe
• Shallow plot; small gravel rear garden with limited outdoor space
• Solid brick walls as built, likely no cavity insulation (assumed)
• Electric storage heating; heating upgrade likely required
• Listed status restricts alterations and can increase refurbishment costs
• Freehold; fast broadband and convenient High Street location
This Grade II listed two-bedroom semi sits directly on Earls Colne High Street, offering immediate access to shops, transport and local amenities. Period features such as exposed beams, a feature fireplace and sash-style glazing give genuine character, while room sizes remain small-to-average throughout. The layout includes two reception rooms, a fitted kitchen and a bathroom on the first floor.
Practicalities to note: the property has solid brick walls with no fitted cavity insulation (as-built) and is heated by electric storage heaters, so upgrading thermal performance and heating will be an immediate consideration. Listed status means repairs or alterations will require consent and may increase refurbishment costs. The rear plot is shallow with a modest gravel garden and small detached outbuilding.
A useful outbuilding with power, water and lighting is already connected and could be adapted as a home office, hobby room or small annexe subject to planning and listed-building constraints. The house is freehold, offers fast broadband and sits in an area with good local schools and community amenities. This is a straightforward proposition for a buyer seeking a character town-centre home or an investor prepared to manage listed-building responsibilities.
Viewing is recommended to appreciate the period detail, room proportions and the potential of the outbuilding; buyers should factor in potential costs for insulation, heating upgrades and any listed-building works.
