Summary - Main Road, Harwich CO12 4LN
2 bed 2 bath Terraced
Spacious three-bed requiring full refurbishment, ideal for investors or DIY buyers.
Freehold Victorian terrace with three bedrooms and garden
A sizeable period terrace offered for modernisation in Harwich — clear potential for resale or rental after refurbishment. The house is freehold with three bedrooms, a large lounge/diner and a good-size kitchen that opens to a modest rear garden; original Victorian character (bay window, fireplaces) remains visible. Heating is mains gas with a boiler and radiators, and double glazing has been fitted since 2002.
This is a modern-auction sale: an undisclosed reserve price applies and buyers must pay a non-refundable reservation fee (4.5% of purchase price, minimum £6,600) plus associated auction pack costs. Completion is expected within 56 days, so buyers should have funding lined up and complete their own due diligence, including surveys and service checks.
The property needs comprehensive updating throughout — kitchen, bathroom and internal finishes are dated and the solid brick walls likely lack insulation. The area shows signs of deprivation and local crime levels are high; broadband speeds are slow despite excellent mobile signal. These factors will influence lettability, insurance and refurbishment budgets but are reflected in the guide price.
For investors or experienced DIY buyers this house offers scope to add value through modernisation, cosmetic improvement and insulation upgrades. Alternatively, a family seeking a project in a coastal town with good transport links will find a generous footprint and period features to retain.
