Campion Road, Colchester, CO2

This three-bedroom Edwardian end of terrace home is set on Campion Road within Colchester’s established CO2 area, offering a blend of traditional character and clear potential for modernisation. Externally the house is defined by its period brickwork and box-bay front.

Stepping inside you find a practical, traditional layout. At the front of the house the living room is a solidly proportioned space centred around a fireplace with a solid fuel stove. A wide box bay window fills the room with daylight, and built-in display shelving flanks the chimney breast. The room’s natural flow leads directly into the dining area, which forms the heart of the ground floor and accommodates a family table alongside space for freestanding furniture. A rear window keeps the room bright and the staircase to the first floor is positioned here, emphasising the room’s role as the main circulation space.

The kitchen at the back of the house runs in a simple galley arrangement with worktops and units to both sides. There is a window above the sink and a glazed door giving direct access to the garden, with an additional side door offering practical secondary access. Whilst the existing units and surfaces are dated, the room’s length and direct outside connection give scope for reconfiguration or updating to suit individual tastes.

Upstairs the landing is L-shaped and provides access to all three first floor bedrooms.

The principal bedroom is a comfortable double with a front aspect, carpet underfoot and an ornate period fireplace alongside a recessed storage cupboard. The second bedroom is also a good size, carpeted with its own fireplace and a window overlooking the rear. The third bedroom/study, sits adjacent to the family bathroom and includes the wall-mounted combi boiler. With space for a single bed or desk, it offers versatility for a daily home office, guest room or nursery.

The family bathroom is arranged in a straightforward, practical pattern with a panelled bath and electric shower over, WC, and pedestal basin. An obscured window provides natural light and ventilation, and whilst finishes are simple and dated, the layout provides a clear starting point for improvement.

Outside, the west-facing rear garden is fully enclosed and extends straight from the kitchen. It is currently laid out simply and would benefit from landscaping, giving a new owner the opportunity to create seating, planting or outdoor entertaining areas to suit their preference. Gated side access ensures easy connection between the garden and the front of the property for bins, bikes or tool access.

With its bay-fronted façade, two reception rooms, enclosed garden and off-street parking, it offers a sound platform for a refreshed family home in a well-connected part of Colchester.

Living Room

3.47m x 3.62m

The living room is a well-proportioned front room with a wide box bay window that brings in good natural light. A recessed fireplace with a solid fuel stove sits centrally, creating a clear focal point and offering scope for updating or reworking depending on preference. The room is currently carpeted and finished in muted green tones, with traditional ceiling coving and a simple central light fitting. Built-in display shelving sits neatly to one side of the chimney breast.

Dining Room

3.47m x 4.42m

Positioned between the living room and kitchen, the dining room forms the natural centre of the ground floor and follows a traditional, practical layout. Stairs rise from this space to the first-floor landing, reinforcing its role as the main circulation point through the house. A window to the rear brings in natural light, while the proportions allow comfortably for a family dining table alongside additional furniture as required.

Kitchen

2.11m x 4.38m

The kitchen is located at the rear and runs in a galley-style layout with worktops and units to both sides. There is a window above the sink and a glazed door leading directly out to the garden, with an additional side door providing further external access. The room has enough length to support a reconfiguration, whether kept practical or redesigned with a more modern aesthetic in mind.

Landing

L-shaped, connecting to the three first floor bedrooms.

First Bedroom

3.47m x 3.67m

A well proportioned and carpeted double room with ornate fireplace, window to the front and a useful recessed storage cupboard.

Second Bedroom

2.63m x 3.65m

Also carpeted with an ornate fireplace and window to the rear.

Third Bedroom / Study

A potential third bedroom or study with window and wall mounted gas fired combi boiler that leads to the first floor bathroom.

Bathroom

The bathroom is arranged in a straightforward, practical layout with a panelled bath and electric shower over, WC, and pedestal basin. An obscured window provides natural light and ventilation, while wall panelling and simple finishes reflect the home’s overall need for updating. Everything is functional, but the room would benefit from modernisation, offering a clear opportunity to refit and refresh to suit a buyer’s own taste and requirements.

Rear Garden

West facing, the rear garden is fully enclosed and extends directly from the kitchen, with double doors opening onto the space. It is currently laid out in a simple, low-maintenance format and would benefit from landscaping, offering a clear opportunity to redesign to suit individual needs. Gated side access connects the garden to the front of the property, providing practical access for bins, bikes, or future work. The proportions allow for a usable outdoor area once improved, with scope to create seating, planting, or storage depending on preference.
