Summary - 62 WEST STOCKWELL STREET COLCHESTER CO1 1HE
7 bed 4 bath Detached
Spacious Grade II townhouse with garden, garage and proven B&B history.
Seven bedrooms and four bathrooms across 4,940 sq ft
A rare Grade II stucco-fronted Georgian townhouse in Colchester’s Dutch Quarter, this landmark property offers substantial space and strong rental or hospitality potential. The house totals 4,940 sq ft across three storeys plus a dry cellar, with seven bedrooms, four bathrooms and four reception rooms — a layout that has successfully operated as a B&B and could suit an investor, multi-family use or a large family.
Period features are abundant and carefully maintained: sash windows, wood panelling, high ceilings, exposed beams and original fireplaces provide authentic character throughout. Practical benefits include a recently refitted kitchen/breakfast room, a large west-facing landscaped garden (approx. 0.14 acre), detached triple garage and off-street parking for several cars — rare for the Dutch Quarter.
Important constraints are straightforward: the house is Grade II listed so alterations will be restricted and require consent. The immediate area scores high for crime and is classed as deprived, and council tax is described as quite expensive. These factors affect operating costs and some buyer types.
For an investor or buyer seeking a character landmark close to Colchester town centre, the property’s scale, proven B&B trading history and proximity to transport links and schools make it compelling. Buyers should budget for listed-property compliance and factor local area considerations into rental and security planning.
