This chain-free two-bedroom semi offers a roomy first step onto the property ladder in a popular Colchester neighbourhood. Spacious social rooms include a large lounge and a sun lounge that extend living space; outside there is off-street parking and a notably large rear garden ideal for families, pets or future extensions (subject to planning).
The house sits on a solid-brick mid-20th-century build with mains gas central heating and double glazing already installed, providing basic comfort and low running complexity. Its layout — generous lounge, fitted kitchen, cloakroom and two good-sized bedrooms — will suit first-time buyers or couples wanting more space without a high purchase price.
Buyers should budget for cosmetic updating and some fabric improvements. The property’s brick walls are assumed to be uninsulated and the glazing dates from before 2002; a programme of insulation and selective window upgrades would improve comfort and reduce energy use. The area records above-average crime levels, so prospective buyers should assess neighbourhood safety and security measures.
Overall this is a practical, well-located home with solid potential: immediate move-in possibility for those willing to modernise over time, plus a large garden and convenient parking that add clear long-term value.
