This two-bedroom Victorian terrace offers an affordable entry into Colchester, a short walk from the city centre and railway station. At 508 sq ft it’s compact but well laid-out: a long 23'9" lounge/diner, a modern kitchen and a contemporary first-floor bathroom. The generous rear garden is a standout for the size and setting, providing private outdoor space that’s rare at this price point.
The property is presented in good order with double glazing, mains gas central heating and a tidy interior, making it move-in ready for a first-time buyer or a lettable asset for an investor. Broadband speeds are fast and local amenities — shops, bus routes and medical services — are all close by, supporting everyday convenience.
Buyers should note the home is small (508 sq ft) and built c.1900–1929 with solid brick walls assumed to have no cavity insulation. This means potential improvement costs if you plan to upgrade thermal performance. The surrounding area is classified as deprived with average crime levels; factor local market conditions into any investment or renovation budget.
Freehold tenure and a clear layout create straightforward potential for value-adding improvements: loft access exists, and the layout suits modest reconfiguration or cosmetic refurbishment. For buyers seeking an affordable central Colchester home with a large garden or a compact rental opportunity, this property merits an early viewing.
