A compact Grade II listed Georgian terraced cottage arranged over three floors, this two-bedroom home sits a short walk from Colchester city centre and the train station, with pleasant views of St Johns Abbey. Its sash windows, built-in wardrobes and historic proportions give genuine period character, while a small enclosed rear garden provides private outdoor space in an otherwise built-up location.
The property is modest in size (approx. 433 sq ft) and currently fitted with a mid-20th century kitchen and a single bathroom. These areas will benefit from modernization; purchasers should note the listed status, which can restrict alterations and make renovations more complex and costly. The house is offered with no ongoing chain and is freehold, with a low council tax band (B) and mains services connected.
Situated in a lively, cosmopolitan area with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, the location suits first-time buyers or buyers seeking a central pied-à-terre. There is straightforward access to shops, schools and many local amenities. However, the neighbourhood records higher-than-average crime levels, and the house’s small footprint and multi-storey layout may not suit those needing generous living space or step-free access.
For buyers seeking period charm, proximity to transport and clear scope to add value, this cottage provides an affordable central option. Be prepared for listed-building consent processes if you plan structural changes or substantial remodelling.
