A genuine slice of history on the banks of the River Colne, this Grade II Listed 17th‑century cottage blends original character with practical living across three floors. The house is offered chain free and sits within easy walking distance of shops, eateries, Colchester North station and Castle Park — ideal for commuters and families who value central convenience and riverside charm.
Inside, exposed timber beams, a red brick fireplace and a compact, well‑laid-out plan create a cosy, characterful home. The accommodation includes a ground‑floor lounge, dining room, kitchen with utility and WC, two first‑floor bedrooms with a shower room, and a principal bedroom to the second floor. The gas boiler was replaced approximately five years ago and the property benefits from gas central heating.
Important practical points: the house is Grade II Listed, which restricts external and internal changes and may complicate renovations or extensions. The plot is small, there is only one bathroom, and the property sits in a medium flood‑risk area. Parking is by residents’ permit with additional communal parking nearby rather than private driveway space. Local crime levels are higher than average and broadband speeds are only average.
For buyers who value period character and a central riverside location, this cottage presents clear potential — particularly for those prepared to manage listed‑building constraints and accept limited outdoor space. Early viewing is recommended to appreciate the setting and layout in person.
