This Victorian mid-terrace on Beche Road offers straightforward potential in a convenient New Town location, sold chain free. At about 801 sq ft the layout provides two double bedrooms plus a smaller third room, ground-floor bathroom and generous rear garden — all ripe for modernisation to suit a new owner’s taste.
The house requires updating throughout: electrics and heating would benefit from inspection or replacement, and finishes are dated. The property has traditional brick construction with assumed cavity walls and no added insulation; the current EPC rating is E. Despite works needed, mains gas boiler and radiators are in place and broadband speeds are fast, making the home practical while improvements are carried out.
For commuters the location is strong — roughly half a mile from Colchester town centre and the mainline station with direct services to London. Local shops, supermarkets and green spaces are within easy reach. The freehold tenure and chain-free sale make this a straightforward purchase for downsizers seeking a compact, character home or investors planning a refurbishment and rental.
Buyers should factor renovation costs and the single bathroom when assessing value. The plot is modest but the rear garden is a notable asset once cleared and landscaped. Council tax band B and low flood risk add to the practical benefits for long-term ownership.
