Set on a quiet New Town street, this freehold two-bedroom Victorian terrace offers a compact, characterful home ideal for first-time buyers or commuters. At about 609 sq ft, the layout makes efficient use of space with a dining room leading to a cosy living room, a galley kitchen and an enclosed low-maintenance rear garden. Colchester Town Station, direct trains to London Liverpool Street, and several well-rated local schools are within easy reach.
The property retains period features such as sash-style windows and a cast-iron fireplace, while having practical upgrades like double glazing (installed post-2002) and gas central heating via boiler and radiators. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, supporting home working and streaming. Council tax is low and there is no flooding risk.
This house suits buyers wanting an affordable entry into a popular area: it’s a ready-to-live-in home with scope to personalise. Expect straightforward cosmetic improvements and targeted energy upgrades (wall insulation appears absent) to increase comfort and long-term value. On-street parking and a small, paved garden keep maintenance low.
Be aware the home is compact and sits in an area assessed as more deprived with average crime levels. The property will particularly appeal to purchasers who value location—near shops, schools and transport—over expansive internal space.
