Summary - 36 HOWE CLOSE COLCHESTER CO4 3XD
1 bed 1 bath Ground Maisonette
Compact, rentable flat near the University ideal for buy-to-let purchasers.
Chain free ground-floor one-bedroom maisonette
Ground-floor one-bedroom maisonette in north Colchester, offered chain free and well placed for rental demand from students and nearby workers. The property has a private entrance, a spacious living room, fitted kitchen, double bedroom and a bathroom with shower over bath. Communal gardens and off-street parking add practical outdoor space and convenience.
This is a compact investment opportunity: the flat totals about 323 sq ft and sits close to the University of Essex, making it highly rentable. Services include mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, double glazing and fast broadband and mobile signal — all positives for tenants.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold maisonette in an area with higher crime rates and measured deprivation. The building and internal rooms are basic and require general decoration and updating to reach modern rental or owner-occupier standards. The block dates from the 1983–1990 period and offers functional, mid‑20th-century styling rather than period character.
For investors or first-time purchasers seeking a small, low-entry asset near the university, this property presents straightforward rental potential but will benefit from cosmetic investment and active management given the local area profile and communal layout.
