Chain-free period home close to station and town.
Two double bedrooms with high ceilings and period features
A handsome two-bedroom Victorian semi in Colchester’s New Town, offered chain-free and ready for a quick sale via auction. The house keeps much period character — high ceilings, arched windows and a traditional façade — while presenting straightforward, family-friendly accommodation: living room, separate dining room, kitchen with side access, two double bedrooms and a family bathroom.
The rear garden is a genuine asset: generous length with patio, lawn and decking perfect for children or outdoor dining. Commuters will appreciate the short walk to Colchester Town Station and direct trains to London Liverpool Street, plus nearby schools and town-centre amenities. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, and the property is freehold with mains gas central heating and double glazing installed post-2002.
Important purchase notes: the property is for sale by the Modern Method of Auction — cash buyers only are advised, with a 56-day completion target. Bidders must pay for and view a Buyer Information Pack and should budget for a non-refundable Reservation Fee (4.5% of the purchase price, minimum £6,600) in addition to the purchase price. On-street parking is by residents’ permit.
A sensible buy for first-time buyers, commuters or investors looking for period character and scope to add value. The house is structurally conventional (solid brick walls likely without cavity insulation) and presents opportunities for sympathetic updating rather than a full refurbishment.
