Characterful three-bedroom home minutes from Colchester station and city centre.
Grade II listed riverside cottage with abundant exposed timbers
This Grade II listed three-bedroom home sits on the banks of the River Colne and offers genuine period character with extensive exposed timbers and a traditional brick fireplace. The layout provides a snug music room/snug, a spacious lounge/diner and a practical kitchen, making it well suited to family life or buyers seeking a character property close to transport.
Practical benefits include gas central heating, a paved courtyard garden and a nearby garage (located off Causton Road). The property is an easy walk to Colchester city centre and the mainline railway station, putting shops, schools and amenities within convenient reach.
Buyers should note material constraints: the listed status will restrict alterations and may complicate repair work. There is a recorded episode of water ingress (2000) though a riverbank brick wall was later built; flood risk is assessed as medium. The area records higher local crime levels and council tax is Band E (above average).
Overall this cottage will appeal to purchasers who value riverside character and central convenience and who are comfortable managing a listed property with some flood-risk history and potential refurbishment needs.
