Summary - 9, Simons Lane CO1 2LH
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Two bedrooms, large garden and clear renovation potential near city amenities.
No onward chain — ready for a quick sale
A Victorian mid-terrace with genuine scope for someone willing to add value. This two-bedroom home sits within easy walking distance of Colchester city centre, local schools and transport links, and is offered with no onward chain — attractive to a buyer wanting a quick move or an investor seeking a city-centre rental.
Internally the layout is traditional: lounge, separate dining room, narrow kitchen and a ground-floor bathroom. The property has been recently decorated but still needs modernization — the kitchen is dated (1980s fittings), some rooms need updating and the solid brick walls likely lack insulation. Heating is gas-fired via a boiler and radiators; windows are double glazed but install date is unknown.
Outside there is a generously sized rear garden with a paved patio and lawn, though neighbours have a right of access through the garden (mid-terrace). The plot is small overall, and the area scores as very deprived, so buyers should factor local market conditions when assessing price and rental prospects.
This house is best suited to first-time buyers who want a central home they can personalise, or investors comfortable with a light-to-medium refurbishment. Important positives include no chain, good broadband and mobile signal, and proximity to strong schools and town amenities. Buyers should plan for renovation costs and improvement works to maximise value.
