Characterful two-bed Victorian terrace close to Colchester centre and North Station.
Victorian mid-terrace with character features and sash windows
This two-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace in St Marys offers period character and a compact, well-presented layout across approximately 660 sq ft. The house is conveniently placed for Colchester city centre, North Station and local schools, making it practical for commuters or first-time buyers seeking central living. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support home working and streaming.
Accommodation includes a lounge, separate dining room, compact kitchen, lobby/utility and ground-floor bathroom, with two first-floor bedrooms (one with a walk-in wardrobe/dressing area). The enclosed rear garden and residents’ permit parking to the front add useful outdoor space and day-to-day convenience in a predominantly terrace-and-flat neighbourhood.
Practical considerations: the property has a current EPC rating of E and solid brick walls likely without modern cavity insulation, so buyers should expect energy-efficiency improvement work and potential heating cost implications. There is on-street residents’ parking only and the plot is small; while well-located, the area records higher local crime levels which may concern some purchasers.
Overall this freehold Victorian terrace suits buyers wanting a central, characterful home with clear scope to improve energy performance and personalise interiors. It presents good potential for a first-time buyer or investor prepared to upgrade insulation and cosmetic elements to increase comfort and value.
