This recently refurbished two-bedroom semi-detached house on Greenstead Road offers an affordable, move-in-ready base close to central Colchester. The reception room, modern kitchen and tiled ground-floor bathroom provide sensible everyday living, while an additional first-floor W.C. adds convenience for busy mornings.
Externally the property benefits from a private, enclosed rear garden with raised beds and side access, plus a small front garden. On-street parking is available nearby. The home is a short walk from Colchester city centre, Hythe Station and the University of Essex — appealing for commuters, students and first-time buyers.
Practical points to note: the overall internal size is small (about 485 sq ft) and rooms are compact. The house retains its original solid brick walls with no known cavity insulation, which could mean higher heating costs despite double glazing and a mains-gas boiler. The local area shows signs of deprivation and crime levels are average; buyers should weigh location benefits against these factors.
For buyers seeking an affordable entry into the Colchester market, this Freehold property presents genuine value — recently modernised, close to transport and amenities, and requiring minimal immediate work. Investors may also consider rental potential given proximity to the university and town centre, but should factor in the compact layout and local area profile.
