Summary - 73 FOREST ROAD COLCHESTER CO4 3RA
2 bed 1 bath Maisonette
Affordable two-bed maisonette with garden — ideal entry buy or student/letting investment.
Chain free, first-floor maisonette with private rear garden
A chain-free first-floor maisonette offering practical two-bedroom accommodation and a private rear garden, tucked close to bus routes and Essex University. The layout includes a generous 15ft lounge, a 12ft kitchen and fitted wardrobes in the main bedroom — sensible space for a first home or a rental let.
The property is offered with 104 years remaining on the lease and a modest service charge and ground rent (circa £45pcm; approx. £540pa). At 576 sq ft the overall size is small, so the home suits buyers wanting affordable entry to Colchester or investors seeking a lettable unit near the university.
Cosmetic updating is required; the interior has dated finishes and the garden needs modernisation. The area is classified as very deprived with above-average crime statistics, so purchasers should factor location-related considerations into resale or letting plans.
Practical positives include excellent mobile signal, fast broadband potential, no flood risk and low council tax (Band A). Viewing is recommended to judge the size and scope of refurbishment needed for personal occupation or rental income.
