Description

This three-bedroom end-terrace property, located on the northern side of Colchester, presents a promising opportunity for investors or DIY enthusiasts. While the home requires modernisation, it boasts an entrance lobby and generous private gardens both at the front and back. The lounge is spacious with natural light from its double-glazed windows at both ends, providing a versatile space for living. The kitchen, featuring essential amenities like a stainless steel sink and ample storage, offers potential for reconfiguration and contemporary upgrades. A smaller study adds to the layout's versatility, suitable for home office use or additional living space. The three bedrooms are well-sized, each with their own window allowing for natural light. The bathroom includes a panel-enclosed bath with shower attachment and a wall-hung sink; this area could benefit significantly from updates. Outside, the rear garden primarily consists of lawn space with a concrete area adjacent to the house and is enclosed by wooden fencing, while the front features a charming brick wall boundary alongside two areas of lawn. This property offers considerable renovation potential to create a comfortable family home or investment rental.
