Summary - 1 MORANT ROAD COLCHESTER CO1 2HZ
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Chain-free Victorian terrace close to trains, shops and city amenities.
Two double bedrooms with high ceilings and period character
A compact two-bedroom Victorian terrace in New Town, ideal for a first-time buyer seeking character close to Colchester city centre. The house is offered freehold and chain free, with original features such as a fireplace, high ceilings and exposed brickwork that give immediate charm. Fast broadband and excellent 4G make it commuter-friendly, and a nearby station offers direct trains into London.
The ground floor has a traditional layout with a sitting room, dining room and a fitted kitchen that leads to a small enclosed rear garden with a large timber shed. Upstairs are two double bedrooms and a family bathroom; the boiler is housed in a landing cupboard. There is scope to personalise the decor and make modest improvements to maximise comfort and value.
Practical considerations: some building fabric upgrades appear likely — cavity walls and suspended ground floor are assumed to lack insulation, and only partial low-energy lighting is fitted. To create off-street parking for a small vehicle would require planning permission (STPP). These are common projects for period homes and straightforward for buyers budgeting for improvements.
Location is a major strength: shops, pubs, restaurants, the castle and museums are within walking distance, and several well-regarded primary and secondary schools serve the area. The plot is small but manageable, and council tax is described as low, supporting an economical cost of ownership.
