This well-presented 1930s semi delivers a sensible blend of period charm and contemporary living across roughly 1,074 sq ft. A bright bay-fronted sitting room with a wood-burning stove and bespoke joinery creates an inviting family reception, while the open-plan kitchen/dining extension with skylight and French doors is ideal for everyday living and entertaining. Two off-street parking spaces and a fitted EV charging point add practical, modern convenience.
Upstairs provides three bedrooms and a smart family bathroom; the principal bedroom enjoys a bay window and fitted wardrobes. The rear garden is landscaped and of a generous depth for the street, with paved patio, lawn, planted borders and a raised terrace that offers private outdoor space for children or alfresco dining. Ground-floor utility and cloakroom/WC increase day-to-day practicality.
Buyers should note a few material points: the house is built with solid brick walls (likely no cavity insulation), double glazing install date is unknown and the property dates from the 1930s — some thermal upgrades or modernisation may be desirable. The local area scores as a cosmopolitan student neighbourhood within a wider hampered-aspiration classification, which may affect resale choice for some buyers.
Overall this freehold semi is a sensible family or professional purchase for anyone seeking period character with modern interiors, good outside space and transport links into Colchester and London. The seller needs to secure an onward purchase, so timings may be linked to their move.
