Flexible three-bed with garden and parking — good for investors or renovation buyers.
Chain-free detached three-bedroom property
A chain-free 3-bedroom detached house on Lucas Road offering straightforward access to Colchester city centre and the station — attractive for buy-to-let or a renovation-minded buyer. The layout includes three reception rooms on the ground floor and three bedrooms above, giving flexible space for sharers, a family, or a home office setup.
The property sits on a small plot with a rear garden and off-street parking at the front. Built in the late 1960s/early 1970s, it has double glazing installed before 2002 and mains gas central heating via boiler and radiators. The overall size and 1,174 sq ft internal floor area provide a solid footprint for reconfiguration or modernisation.
Important practical points: the cavity walls were constructed without insulation (likely to need upgrading), there is only one bathroom, and the immediate area records higher-than-average crime levels. These factors affect running costs, refurbishment scope and tenant/matching strategy and should be considered by buyers and investors.
This house is best suited to someone seeking a practical, value-driven purchase with clear uplift potential — either as a refurbished family home or an income-producing student/shared tenancy — who is prepared to carry out energy and cosmetic improvements.
