Chain-free Victorian terrace near Colchester station — ideal first-time purchase or refurb project.
Three bedrooms in a compact 732 sqft mid-terrace
A compact, chain-free three-bedroom mid-terrace in New Town, offered as a straightforward purchase for a first-time buyer or investor. The house sits close to Colchester city centre and the mainline station, making commutes and city amenities easily accessible.
Inside, the property provides a lounge, dining room and a contemporary galley kitchen leading to a small rear lobby and ground-floor bathroom. Upstairs are three well-proportioned bedrooms; note bedroom three is accessed via bedroom two, which may affect privacy. The rear garden is private with a patio and shed, and on-street permit parking is available to the front.
Built around the 1930s with double glazing and gas central heating to radiators, the home is presented for immediate occupation but also offers potential to increase value through targeted refurbishment. Practical drawbacks to consider: the overall floor area is small (approximately 732 sq ft), the property has an EPC rating of D, and the neighbourhood is a cosmopolitan, student-oriented area with higher local deprivation and average crime levels. These factors influence long-term rental and resale dynamics.
This freehold mid-terrace is best suited to buyers seeking an affordable city-base with good transport links and scope to personalise and improve. Early viewing is recommended to assess layout suitability and uplift potential.
