Affordable Colchester home with garden and parking near station.
Two bedrooms over two floors with character features and exposed beams
A two-bedroom maisonette arranged over two levels, this property suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking affordable entry to Colchester. The ground floor offers a characterful living room with exposed beams and an open fireplace, plus a well-equipped kitchen, utility area and bathroom. Upstairs are two spacious bedrooms. A secluded rear garden and off-street parking add practical outside space—unusual for flats in the area.
Practical strengths include fast broadband, close walking distance to shops and Colchester train station, and a large plot that provides garden privacy. The property is sold with a 25% share of freehold, which may appeal to buyers wanting more control than a standard leasehold. Council tax is described as cheap, helping reduce running costs.
Buyers should be aware of material considerations. The property sits in a very deprived, cosmopolitan student neighbourhood — good for rental demand but not for those seeking a quiet suburb. The 25% share of freehold indicates shared ownership of the freehold; check the arrangements and any associated costs. The kitchen is compact and some internal updating may be wanted. The EPC is listed as TBC, so energy efficiency and any required works are currently unknown.
Overall this maisonette offers solid value for first-time purchasers or buy-to-let investors who prioritise location, outside space and transport links. Viewings are recommended to assess the accommodation and layout in person, and to clarify the freehold share and energy performance details.
