Set on a Victorian terrace close to Colchester city centre, this two-bedroom freehold mid-terrace offers straightforward, chain-free purchase for a first-time buyer or investor. The layout includes a lounge, separate dining room, small contemporary kitchen, ground-floor bathroom and two first-floor bedrooms, all within about 655 sq ft. A low-maintenance courtyard garden and garden shed provide outside storage without extensive upkeep.
The property is practical and liveable now but shows scope for cosmetic improvement to maximise value — the kitchen and finishes are modern yet compact, and some updating would improve space flow and energy performance (current EPC rating D). Solid brick walls with internal insulation and double glazing help retain heat; heating is via a mains-gas boiler and radiators.
Buyers should note the neighbourhood is an active, cosmopolitan area with many local amenities and excellent transport links, but it records higher crime levels than average and the plot and rooms are modest in size. The house is offered chain-free, which simplifies a quick move or rental conversion. Overall this is a buttoned-down, well-located starter home with clear potential for value-adding improvements.
