About
Set in a quiet cul-de-sac in the popular Hythe area of Colchester, this spacious linked-detached townhouse offers flexible living across three floors - just a short walk from the train station, Tesco superstore, riverside paths, and the cafés and shops that give this area such a lively, convenient feel.
The riverside walk along the Colne is only minutes away, ideal for running, dog walking, or an easy weekend stroll.
Built in 2003, the home is currently arranged as five bedrooms, with the ground-floor dining room converted into an additional bedroom - perfect for investors or for families wanting options.
Across the three floors you’ll find an en-suite bedroom, a family bathroom, and a downstairs WC, providing plenty of practicality for busier households.
The house has been rented in recent years and is fully move-in ready, though buyers intending to live here may choose to update and personalise the space.
Investors, on the other hand, may prefer to re-let immediately - the layout already works well for sharers and multi-room use, aligned with the local demographic of students and working renters.
Outside, the garden is a great size, walled for privacy and easy to maintain.
There’s a detached garage, additional parking, and the cul-de-sac setting keeps things quiet despite being so close to key routes and amenities.
With its rare amount of space, flexible layout, and superbly connected location, this is an ideal opportunity for investors, blended households, or families wanting quick access to the station, uni, and city centre
