Recently refurbished throughout, this split-level maisonette offers a ready-to-move-in two-bedroom home with a private garden and balcony. The interior feels bright and contemporary thanks to new kitchen and shower room fittings, fresh décor, laminate flooring and double glazing. At about 632 sq ft the layout is compact but practical, featuring a large living room with a feature fireplace and built-in storage in the principal bedroom.
The property is leasehold with 180 years remaining, a modest service charge (£200) and low ground rent (£10). It benefits from gas central heating, off-street residents’ parking and easy walking access to Colchester city centre and the station, making it attractive for first‑time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking immediate rental potential.
Buyers should note the wider area scores as deprived with very high local crime levels — important for families and investors to consider when assessing suitability and rental demand. The maisonette is chain-free and structurally appears modern (post-war build, filled cavity walls), but its average room sizes and compact total area mean it suits those seeking a practical starter home rather than a spacious family house.
Overall this is a straightforward, low‑maintenance purchase with good transport and amenity links, contemporary finishes and outdoor space. The long lease and modest running costs reduce ownership risk, but prospective buyers should factor neighbourhood crime statistics and local area profile into their decision.
