Set over three floors, this modern townhouse offers compact, practical city-centre living a short walk from Colchester North station and Castle Park. The ground-floor open-plan living room and vaulted kitchen with French doors bring light and flexible space for social cooking and dining, while two parking spaces plus a garage add rare convenience in a central location. The principal bedroom on the top floor includes built-in wardrobes and an en-suite bathroom, with two further bedrooms and a shower room on the lower floors.
The property is sold freehold and with no onward chain, making it suitable for a first-time buyer or investor seeking a ready-to-move-in home close to shops, schools and transport links. Recent work is reported to include a newly installed gas boiler; integrated kitchen appliances and a powered garden shed are practical extras that reduce immediate expenditure.
Important negatives are stated plainly: the plot and external space are small, offering a modest courtyard rather than a large private garden, and the property sits in an area with very high recorded crime and higher-than-average area deprivation. These factors will suit buyers prioritising central location and transport convenience over large outdoor space or a quieter neighbourhood. Council Tax Band C is described as affordable and broadband speeds are fast, but buyers should satisfy themselves about local safety and long-term investment considerations.
