2 bed 1 bath End of Terrace
Chain-free two-bed cottage with unusually large rear garden, close to town amenities..
Chain free two-bedroom cottage in central Colchester
This charming two-bedroom end-of-terrace cottage on Spurgeon Street is offered chain free and suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking a compact, characterful home in central Colchester. The property’s white rendered façade, dormer window and adjacent historic churchyard give it a distinctive cottage feel and a peaceful outlook despite being moments from shops, cafés and transport links.
Internally the house is small but efficiently arranged over two floors: a cosy lounge, compact kitchen, ground-floor bathroom and two modest bedrooms upstairs. The advertised total internal area is approximately 420 sq ft, so spaces are noticeably smaller than modern new-build two-beds but retain period character. A good-sized rear garden is a standout feature for the size of the house and provides private outdoor space for entertaining or gardening.
Practical considerations: the building is solid brick and likely lacks modern cavity insulation, and the accommodation will feel tight for anyone needing larger rooms or storage. There is no evident off-street parking, and the surrounding area is described as a deprived, cosmopolitan, student neighbourhood — local amenities are close but the wider area has mixed socioeconomic indicators. Council tax is very low and flood risk is low.
Overall this cottage offers an affordable entry into Colchester’s centre with immediate chain-free possession and garden space. It will suit buyers who prioritise location, character and outdoor space over internal floor area, and those prepared to accept or carry out modest upgrades (insulation, general modernisation) to improve comfort and energy performance.
