Summary - 21 SMALLWOOD ROAD COLCHESTER CO2 9HB
2 bed 1 bath Ground Maisonette
Ready-to-live-in starter home with generous garden and parking.
Two bedrooms in a ground-floor layout, step-free access
Large private rear garden with patio and garden shed
Off-street parking and associated single garage present
Well-presented interior, modern family bathroom fitted
Leasehold with 88 years remaining — factor for lenders
Average internal size; suitable for first-time buyers or investors
Mid-20th century build with double glazing and gas heating
Wider area classified as outer-city hardship — impacts demand
This well-presented two-bedroom ground-floor maisonette offers straightforward, low-maintenance living with a private, large rear garden and off-street parking. The bright lounge and practical kitchen make daily life easy, while the modern family bathroom and built-in bedroom storage reduce immediate costs for a new owner. The single-storey layout is especially convenient for those wanting step-free access.
The property is offered leasehold with 88 years remaining — an important consideration for buyers and mortgage lenders. Constructed in the mid-20th century, the home is solidly built with double glazing and gas central heating, though the accommodation is average-sized and suits buyers seeking manageable space rather than expansive rooms.
Located in Shrub End, Colchester, the maisonette sits close to shops, regular bus links and several well-rated schools, making it a practical choice for first-time buyers or those needing local amenities. The wider area shows some economic hardship, which influences local demand and should be weighed alongside the property’s clear rental and owner-occupier appeal.
Overall this is a tidy, ready-to-move-in ground-floor flat with a large private garden, parking and garage potential. It will suit first-time purchasers wanting a practical starter home or buy-to-let investors seeking a low-maintenance asset; modest modernisation could increase rental income or resale value.
