The red-brick frontage of this two-bedroom, 19th-century house in Colchester, Essex belies a brilliantly modern extension at the rear.
Property Oracle says ..
The property is a 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom semi-detached house located on Roman Road in Colchester, Essex. It is situated in the Castle locality, close to Colchester Town train station (0.64km) and several primary and secondary schools within a 1.36km radius, including St James’ Church of England Primary School (rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted). The property benefits from a well-maintained garden with a patio area and a substantial garden shed.
The house itself appears to be in excellent condition. The images show a recently renovated interior with a modern kitchen and bathroom. The property has been tastefully decorated and is presented to a high standard.
The list price of £485,000 is higher than the average price for the area (£302,231). However, considering the property’s excellent condition, the modern extension, and the desirable location close to amenities and transport links, the price may be justified. Nearby comparable properties on Castle Road are listed between £350,000 and £400,000, although the square footage is not provided for these properties. The lack of plot size information for the subject property and nearby listings makes a precise price per square foot comparison challenging.
Therefore, we give this property 8 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
