A compact one-bedroom end-of-terrace cluster house offered chain free in Highwoods, close to parks, shops and transport links. The property sits on a small plot with an enclosed lawned garden and an allocated off-street parking space — practical for a first buyer or investor.
Internally the house is small and requires renovation: the kitchen and bathroom are dated and will benefit from modernisation. The home has double glazing (fitted post-2002) and electric storage heating; these features are straightforward but mean buyers should factor likely running costs and possible heating upgrades into budgets.
This is a practical purchase for someone seeking an affordable entry into Colchester or a buy-to-let opportunity, with fast ultrafast broadband available and easy access to the A12 and Colchester North station. The layout is simple — living room and kitchen on the ground floor, bedroom and bathroom above — so refurbishment can add modern finishes and immediate rental or owner-occupied appeal.
Material drawbacks are clear: the property is small (circa 387 sq ft) and needs renovation throughout. Prospective buyers should expect refurbishment works and check heating and electrics during survey. For the right buyer, this provides a low-cost, chain-free route into a popular residential area with good local amenities and schools.
