Summary - 21 IPSWICH ROAD COLCHESTER CO1 2YG
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Two-bedroom period terrace near town and station — renovation required, great location.
Two-bedroom Victorian terrace, freehold and no onward chain
A compact two-bedroom Victorian terrace offered with no onward chain, ideal for a first-time buyer or small-scale investor. The house sits within easy walking distance of Colchester town centre, North Station and Castle Park, offering strong local amenities and transport links. The property is freehold and includes a low-maintenance rear garden and period features such as an open fireplace and exposed brick.
The house requires renovation: heating is by electric room heaters, walls are likely uninsulated solid brick, and several internal areas need modernisation. Glazing is double but install date is unknown. There are signs of modern additions (kitchen/diner, solar panels externally) but the general condition needs work to reach contemporary standards.
Practical strengths include a small garden with rear gate access, cheap council tax banding, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for homeworking. Buyers should note the very high local crime statistic and the property’s small overall footprint (approximately 537 sq ft, very small plot), which will limit extension potential without planning.
For buyers seeking a central Colchester base to renovate and personalise, or an investor looking for a refurbishment project near transport links and the university, this property presents clear potential. Viewing is recommended to assess scope and costs before committing.
