Chain-free Victorian semi with large rear garden, minutes from Colchester North station.
Chain free Victorian semi-detached house, freehold
This chain-free Victorian semi-detached house sits a short walk from Colchester North station, making commutes to London straightforward. The property offers two bedrooms, two reception rooms and a modern compact kitchen — an attractive package for young families or professionals seeking a manageable city home with outdoor space.
The standout feature is the large rear garden, mainly lawn with mature shrub borders, greenhouse and shed — ideal for children, pets or gardening. Internally there are period details such as sash windows (with secondary glazing) and a practical layout including useful storage cupboards and loft access.
Practical considerations: the house is small (approximately 500 sq ft) with a single bathroom and solid brick walls likely lacking cavity insulation. The EPC is D and some energy-efficiency improvements (insulation, heating upgrades) could be beneficial. While well presented in parts, the property suits buyers willing to accept limited living space or to invest modestly to improve thermal performance.
Offered freehold and chain free, this home is a straightforward purchase for buyers prioritising location, garden space and quick rail links rather than extensive floor area. Local schools, retail parks and hospital facilities are close by, supporting family life and everyday convenience.
