Summary - 56 CASTLE ROAD COLCHESTER CO1 1UN
3 bed 1 bath End of Terrace
Character-filled three bedroom home near Castle Park and city centre.
Three good-size bedrooms, traditional layout
This Victorian end-of-terrace offers generous rooms and period character across two floors, with three good-size bedrooms and separate lounge and dining rooms. The layout suits families or first-time buyers seeking a traditional home close to Colchester city centre and Castle Park.
Externally the rear garden is a notable feature, framed by part of Colchester's Roman wall — a rare and attractive local landmark. The property is freehold, has mains gas central heating, double glazing (installed before 2002) and fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, helpful for modern living and remote working.
There are practical drawbacks to note: the house stands in an area with very high recorded crime and higher local deprivation levels, and the solid brick walls appear to have no insulation which may affect energy costs. The plot is small and there is only one bathroom, so buyers wanting extensive outdoor space or en-suite facilities should allow for limitations or refurbishment.
Overall this is a character-filled, centrally located Victorian home with genuine potential for buyers willing to update thermal performance and modernise where desired. Its location, size and proximity to schools and transport links make it a realistic family or first-time purchase, but shortlist viewings should factor in local area challenges and likely improvement costs.
