Ideal commuter starter with scope to modernise and add value.
Chain-free Victorian mid-terrace with period character
Offered chain-free, this Victorian mid-terrace on Maldon Road is a compact two-bedroom home with clear potential for a buyer who wants to add value. The property sits within walking distance of Colchester city centre and both mainline stations, making it a strong pick for commuters or first-time buyers seeking easy links to London.
The house retains period character and a traditional layout: separate lounge and dining rooms, a galley kitchen opening to a small enclosed courtyard, and two generous double bedrooms upstairs. The rear bedroom benefits from full-length fitted storage and an en-suite bathroom with bath and shower over.
The property requires cosmetic renovation throughout and has assumed cavity walls with no added insulation, so some upgrading and energy improvements will be needed. The external plot is very small and outdoor space is a walled courtyard; permit parking is available nearby rather than on-plot parking.
Practical positives include double glazing installed after 2002, mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, freehold tenure and a low council tax band. Buyers should note the local area records higher crime levels and neighbouring properties show recent external works, which may indicate intermittent street maintenance.
