Summary - 14 ALBERT STREET HARWICH CO12 3HX
1 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Affordable starter or investor opportunity close to station and seafront.
- One double bedroom arranged over three floors
A compact one-bedroom house arranged over three floors, offering a practical starter home or buy-to-let close to Harwich town centre and the railway station. The living room and kitchen are roomy for the size, with modern fittings in the kitchen and double glazing installed after 2002. Mains gas central heating and a boiler with radiators provide everyday comfort; broadband and mobile signals are strong.
The property sits on a very small plot with on-street parking and a small front area. Sheltered by its mid-20th-century build, the house benefits from simple, usable rooms and a low flood risk. For investors, the advertised 7% yield reflects current local rents; for first-time buyers it offers an affordable entry with council tax described as very cheap and no onward chain to complicate purchase.
Buyers should note a few material drawbacks: the area is classified as very deprived with above-average crime rates, and the building’s cavity walls are assumed to lack insulation — so energy efficiency and running costs could be higher than newer homes. The exterior shows signs of age and will need some modernisation. The plot is very small with no driveway, limiting outdoor space and parking options.
This house suits someone wanting an affordable town-base near transport links and seaside amenities, or an investor targeting rental income with scope to improve value through modest updates. A full survey is recommended to check services, insulation and any works required before committing.
