Small, characterful home with generous garden and driveway.
Two reception rooms providing flexible living space
A compact two-bedroom semi-detached home on Smythies Avenue offering flexible living and outdoor space in a convenient Colchester location. The house has two reception rooms, a recently refurbished upstairs bathroom, a ground-floor shower room and cloakroom, plus a kitchen with room for appliances—useful for families or first-time buyers needing practical, separate living areas.
Outside, the property benefits from a generous, fully enclosed rear garden, off-street driveway parking and a garage currently used as a studio. The garage has a felt roof and may need attention if returned to vehicle use. The plot is modest but private, giving scope for planting, children's play or outdoor entertaining.
Important points to note: the overall living area is small (approximately 314 sq ft) and the roof has reported issues, so some maintenance and updating will be required. The immediate area scores high for crime and is in a locally deprived zone, which may affect long-term resale considerations. On the positive side, broadband and mobile signals are strong, local schools are nearby (including an outstanding primary), and transport links are good, supporting commuter or family needs.
This freehold property is presented with genuine potential for buyers willing to invest in repairs and cosmetic updating. It suits first-time buyers, downsizers seeking manageable outdoor space, or investors targeting rental demand in a well-connected area.
