5 bed terraced house for sale

East Street, Colchester CO1

Guide Price: £475,000 - £500,000.

Steeped in history, this exceptional five-bedroom terraced home on East Street, Colchester, forms part of the city’s rich heritage. Once an important approach road into Colchester, East Street is lined with characterful 16th and 17th-century buildings, many later enhanced with period additions. This property, spanning an impressive 2,278 sq. Ft., was formerly R.B. Eve’s butcher shop-a fascinating reminder of its historic past-while today it seamlessly combines period charm with modern living.

On entering, you are welcomed into a spacious lounge filled with character features and timeless appeal. The ground floor continues with a well-equipped kitchen to the rear, a dining room centred around a striking fireplace, a practical utility room, and a convenient shower room.

The first floor offers three generously proportioned double bedrooms and a family bathroom. Two further staircases lead up to the top floor, where you will find two additional bedrooms-one with its own ensuite and walk-in wardrobe, and the other a spacious double room.

Adding further versatility, a basement accessible from the lounge provides useful storage or exciting potential for conversion. Outside, the rear garden is mainly laid to lawn, offering a private and peaceful retreat, while a gate leads through to rare off-road parking for five or more vehicles.

With its generous accommodation, unique heritage, and blend of traditional character with modern amenities, this home presents a rare opportunity to own a piece of Colchester’s history while enjoying contemporary comfort.
