About this home
** GUIDE PRICE £160,000 - £170,000 ** Currently tenanted until summer 2026 **
Located to the East of Colchester in the popular Greenstead area, this well-presented and generously proportioned two-bedroom first floor maisonette offers an excellent opportunity for buy-to-let investors. Unlike many similar properties in the area, this maisonette has retained its original layout and has not been converted into three or four bedrooms, an excellent opportunity for investors to buy a property with a tenant already in occupancy.
The property features spacious and versatile living throughout, including a bright and airy lounge/diner, a separate fully fitted kitchen, two good-sized double bedrooms and a family bathroom. To the rear, you'll find a private garden area, which with a little care could be perfect for relaxing or entertaining.
Set within easy reach of local amenities, the property is just a short distance from the University of Essex, Hythe Train Station, Colchester Town Centre, and local supermarkets such as Tesco and Aldi. There are also a range of nearby primary and secondary schools, regular bus services, and access to open green spaces and walking routes.
With the added advantage of no onward chain.
Please note that ground rent and service charges can vary over time. Prospective purchasers are advised to verify the current costs and terms with their solicitor to ensure accuracy before proceeding with any purchase
