This Victorian three-bedroom semi-detached home offers a practical, affordable entry into Harwich with convenient commuter links to Harwich International station and the A120. The layout includes two reception rooms, a fitted kitchen, ground-floor cloakroom and a family bathroom, providing useful living space for first-time buyers or investors.
The property retains period character such as a bay window and brickwork but requires modernization throughout; rooms are generally small and the solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated, so upgrading heating and insulation would improve comfort and running costs. There is a small rear garden for outdoor space and a virtual tour is available for an initial viewing.
Practical positives include mains gas central heating via boiler and radiators, double glazing (installation date unknown), excellent mobile signal and fast broadband—useful for commuters and home workers. The house is freehold with low council tax, making ownership costs relatively modest, but buyers should note the local area has higher crime and deprivation indicators which may affect resale and rental demand.
This home suits first-time buyers looking to add value with refurbishment or buy-to-let investors prepared to modernize. Be realistic about the scope of work: expect cosmetic to mid-level renovation, potential insulation upgrades, and careful consideration of the neighbourhood when assessing long-term potential.
