Local area records higher crime levels—consider security measures
This compact two-bedroom mid-terrace sits a short walk from Colchester city centre and both train stations, offering quick links to shops, restaurants and transport. Offered freehold and chain-free, the property is well suited to a first-time buyer or investor seeking a central, low-maintenance home with clear potential.
The layout includes a lounge, separate dining room, galley kitchen and a ground-floor bathroom, with two bedrooms on the first floor. The courtyard-style rear garden is small and easy to maintain. At about 613 sq ft, rooms are modest in scale, reflecting the home’s Victorian mid-terrace proportions and original features.
The house requires updating and modernisation throughout; buyers should expect cosmetic work and potential improvements to insulation and services. The property has solid brick walls (no built-in insulation assumed) and an EPC rating of D. On-street permit parking is available but there is no private off-street parking.
Location is a strength — city-centre convenience, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — but the immediate area records higher crime levels, which buyers should factor into their decision. Early viewing is recommended for those wanting a compact, centrally located starter home or a rental/refurbishment opportunity.
