A rare, characterful five-bedroom terraced townhouse on historic East Street, offering generous family accommodation across four levels. The property retains period features — exposed beams, a striking dining-room fireplace and a Tudor-style façade — while providing modern conveniences such as a fitted kitchen, utility room, downstairs shower and an ensuite with a walk-in wardrobe.
Spanning about 2,278 sq ft, the house includes a useful basement for storage or conversion potential, plus a private rear garden and gated access to unusually large off-street parking for five or more vehicles — a significant asset in this central location. The layout suits a growing family seeking spacious rooms and character, or an investor looking for a mixed-use central town asset with refurbishment upside.
This is a high-street property with a former commercial frontage (previously R.B. Eve’s butcher shop). The ground-floor display window and direct pavement access mean the frontage and shop-like appearance may need updating if you prefer a fully residential look or wish to improve commercial letting potential. The local area shows signs of deprivation and recorded crime is very high; buyers should consider security and community context when viewing.
Overall, the house offers a rare combination of historic character, generous space and practical parking in Colchester CO1. It will particularly reward purchasers willing to invest in sympathetic refurbishment to reveal its full potential while enjoying immediate family-sized accommodation and convenience to central amenities.
