Summary - 110, Gosbecks Road, COLCHESTER CO2 9JS
3 bed 1 bath Land
Large plot with existing period home and clear new-build potential for developers.
Planning permission granted for a four-bedroom detached house on adjacent land
A substantial development and renovation opportunity south of Colchester city centre, offered freehold with no flood risk. The site includes an established three-bedroom semi-detached house (circa 1930–49) that requires full modernisation and a large adjacent plot with planning permission for a new four-bedroom detached house (Planning Reference 242355). This combination creates scope for immediate refurbishment income and value uplift from a new-build sale or rental.
The existing property retains period Tudor Revival character but shows dated electrics and heating (electric room heaters) and likely cavity walls without insulation, so expect urgent works and replacement systems. The plot includes a garage, informal/overgrown garden and a gravel driveway; landscaping and clearing will reveal the full plot potential. Council Tax band is affordable and the property sits in a comfortable neighbourhood with average crime and good transport links to the city and London.
Location is practical for buyers: popular primary and secondary schools are nearby, plus Lidl and local shops, bus stops and leisure facilities for daily needs. Broadband speeds are average and mobile signal is excellent. For an investor or developer this site offers a clear route to add a four-bedroom new build while renovating the existing house to enhance income or resale value.
Buyers should budget for comprehensive refurbishment, possible rewire, new heating, insulation and external works. Planning permission is in place for the additional dwelling, but purchasers must confirm services and statutory consents before starting construction. Overall this is a strong speculative opportunity for a developer or experienced buyer prepared to manage renovation and build costs.
