Period semi with large plot and strong refurbishment potential for buyers and investors.
Large plot with scope to extend subject to planning consents
This three-bedroom semi‑detached home on Gosbecks Road is a clear renovation opportunity for investors or buyers with building plans. Set on a large plot with ample off‑street parking and outbuildings, the property offers scope to increase living space subject to usual planning consents.
The house requires full modernisation throughout: the kitchen and bathroom are dated and dilapidated, heating is by electric room heaters, walls have no cavity insulation assumed, and the garage and outbuildings need repair. Services are partially unknown and the current EPC is F, so budget for upgrades to heating, insulation and electrics.
Well located for local amenities and a short distance to Colchester city centre, the site is close to several “Good” schools and has excellent mobile signal. The freehold tenure and affordable council tax band add practical value for an investor or buyer prepared to carry out works.
If you are planning a refurbishment or modest extension (subject to planning), this property offers potential uplift through modernisation and reconfiguration. Be straightforward about costs: expect structural, heating and energy-efficiency improvements alongside cosmetic refurbishment.
