Compact, well-presented starter home near university and shops.
Chain free two-bedroom maisonette
This chain-free two-bedroom maisonette offers a practical, ready-to-live-in home or starter buy in Colchester. The well-proportioned living room and two generous bedrooms give comfortable space across a compact 581 sqft layout, while a modern kitchen and bathroom mean little immediate work is required.
Practical extras include a very large understairs storage cupboard, allocated off-street parking and a small garden — helpful for storage, bikes or outdoor space. The property is close to shops and within walking distance of the university, so it will suit first-time buyers or those seeking a buy-to-let in an established rental area.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold with 89 years remaining and an annual service charge of £480. The gas boiler and gas hob have not been tested, so the heating and cooking systems should be checked as part of any purchase. Local indicators: crime is high and the wider area scores as deprived, which may affect long-term resale or rental values.
Overall, this maisonette is a low-entry opportunity with practical living space and modern fittings. It works well for a first home or an investor prepared to accept a shorter lease and take routine checks on services before exchange.
