Description

This substantial five-bedroom family residence is positioned on a generous corner plot in the desirable Braiswick area. Currently in need of comprehensive renovation throughout, this property presents an excellent opportunity for buyers looking to create a personalized home or investment property (subject to local authority approval). Conveniently located near the A12 and within walking distance to Colchester's mainline railway station, which provides direct access to London Liverpool Street in approximately one hour, this property also benefits from its proximity to Colchester's premier golf club. The layout includes ample living space with a large entrance hall, various reception areas including an L-shaped sitting room and dining room, and a kitchen that opens to the garden. The first floor features five well-proportioned bedrooms and a bathroom. The outdoor space consists of mature gardens and a driveway leading to a garage, providing valuable off-road parking. Given the rarity of properties like this one coming onto the market, an internal inspection is highly recommended to fully appreciate its potential.
