This terraced four-bedroom home in Edward Paxman Gardens is a practical, chain-free choice for a growing family or an investor seeking rental potential. Built in the early 2000s, the house offers modern fixtures, double glazing and mains gas central heating, presenting a comfortable everyday layout across two reception rooms and a kitchen that opens to an enclosed rear garden.
The property sits on a modest plot with a split-level garden and two off-street parking spaces — a notable convenience in this part of Colchester. Its location on the east side of the town gives easy access to local shops, bus routes, and nearby train stations (St Botolphs and the Hythe), while the University of Essex is reachable by car, increasing appeal for student rental or staff occupants.
Buyers should note the home has a single family bathroom serving four bedrooms and a relatively small overall footprint (approximately 948 sq ft). The surrounding area is classified as more deprived and includes cosmopolitan student neighbourhoods, which may affect long-term resale or rental character. There are no reported flood risks and broadband and mobile signals are strong.
Presented with vacant possession and freehold title, the house is ready for immediate occupation or straightforward letting. Cosmetic updating could increase value and rental income; structural concerns are not indicated in the information supplied, but buyers are advised to commission their own surveys and appliance/service checks prior to purchase.
