Set on sought-after Rainsborowe Road, this three-bedroom semi offers a clear renovation project with strong scope to add value. The layout includes a bay-fronted lounge, rear living/dining room with sliding doors to the garden, and a U-shaped kitchen — all ready for modernisation. Offered chain free, it’s well placed for commuters with Colchester Town Station and the city centre close by.
The house suits a growing family or buyers aiming to refurbish for resale or rental. Three well-proportioned bedrooms include built-in wardrobes to the principal and second rooms, with a single family bathroom on the first floor. Practical extras include decent-sized rear garden, greenhouse, substantial outbuilding/garage and private driveway providing off-street parking.
Important practical points: the property needs renovation — kitchen fittings and other interiors are dated and will require updating. The home is an average-sized suburban dwelling with modest footprint; buyers should expect refurbishment costs and plan accordingly. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, and local schools are highly regarded, enhancing everyday convenience.
This is a straightforward opportunity for buyers who want to personalise a home in a desirable Colchester neighbourhood. With no onward chain and clear potential to modernise, the property is ready for a committed purchaser to transform it into a comfortable family home or a value-led investment.
