Description
This three-bedroom, 1,201 sq. ft. property in Colchester is currently arranged as two apartments, with a kitchen and bathroom on each floor. It could be refurbished in that configuration, subject to any necessary consents, or adapted back into a single three-bedroom home. The ground floor includes a kitchen/dining room with French doors to the garden, a double bedroom, bathroom and storage. Upstairs are two further double bedrooms, a second kitchen and bathroom; the upper kitchen could instead serve as another bedroom, office or living space.

73out of 100
Grade BGood opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
At £250,000, this is a strong-value project: the asking price is about £208 per sq ft, 33.5% below the local average. The generous corner plot, substantial rear garden and broad parking area add to the appeal, while the listing says the windows, doors and boilers have already been replaced. Bidding isn’t relevant here as this is a private treaty sale.
The interiors are a substantial project, with worn or stripped surfaces across several rooms and dated kitchens and bathrooms. In return, there’s a choice between refurbishing the existing two-apartment arrangement, subject to any necessary consents, or creating a three-bedroom family home with a more open kitchen and dining space. The exterior appears generally intact in the submitted views.
Key opportunities
- Choose between refurbishing the two-apartment layout, subject to necessary consents, or reworking it as a three-bedroom family home.
- The substantial kitchen/dining space and French doors to the garden offer scope for a bright, connected family living area.
- Improve the substantial rear garden and weathered patio, with broad front parking and a corner-plot setting already in place.
Key risks
- Stripped and damaged finishes across several rooms, worn flooring and dated fittings make this a heavy, multi-room programme rather than a cosmetic refresh; allow for substantial time and coordination.
