Summary - 204 GREENSTEAD ROAD COLCHESTER CO1 2SQ
4 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Chain-free Victorian home near Colchester centre — ideal for investors or commuters.
Chain free four-bedroom Victorian semi-detached home
A versatile four-bedroom Victorian semi detached home offered chain-free and ready to occupy after recent internal redecoration. The house sits close to Colchester city centre, Hythe Train Station and the University of Essex, making it practical for renters, commuters or a family needing easy access to transport and local amenities. Internally there is a lounge, separate dining room, galley kitchen and a convenient ground-floor shower room; one ground-floor bedroom provides flexible living or rental options.
The property is compact (approx. 854 sqft) with a low-maintenance rear garden — easy to manage but small in size. Upstairs are two main bedrooms plus a third bedroom that is accessed via bedroom two, which may limit privacy and suitability as a separate bedroom without alteration. Modern touches include double glazing (fitted post-2002), a modernised kitchen area and gas central heating via boiler and radiators.
Buyers should note the location is in a high-crime, deprived area and the wider neighbourhood is dominated by private renting and student households; that profile suits investors or buyers prioritising rental income or short commutes, but may not suit those seeking a quiet suburban setting. The building is an older solid-brick Victorian construction (pre-1900) with no known wall insulation (assumed), which could mean higher heating costs or scope for improvement works.
Overall this is a compact, well-located freehold property with immediate availability and rental potential, particularly for investors or buyers wanting proximity to the university and transport links. The layout and neighbourhood character are the main considerations — viewings recommended to assess suitability and any further refurbishment needs.
