Number 11 is a two-bedroom Victorian terrace on a quiet residential street in Colchester, about fifteen minutes on foot from the town centre and North station. It's set up for people working away from home rather than a weekend away: a proper desk, a fully equipped kitchen, and free parking right outside. Two double bedrooms sleep four, and a study with a foldout bed takes it to five if you need the extra space.
A base that works for working
The desk has a chair, a lamp and enough sockets for two screens if that's your setup, so you're not doing calls from the sofa. The kitchen has a gas hob, oven, microwave, integrated fridge freezer and washing machine, which matters if you're here for more than a few nights and want to cook rather than order in every evening. There's a 40-inch smart TV for downtime, a private rear patio to sit out on, and an enclosed rear garden that also makes this a fair option if you're bringing a dog. WiFi is fast and unlimited, heating is central, and the bills are already covered in what you pay.
Getting around from here
The property sits on a quiet residential street with local shops five minutes away on foot. Colchester North station is a fifteen-minute walk, useful if you're commuting in for meetings rather than driving. The A12 is four minutes by car, which covers most sites across Essex and Suffolk if your work takes you further afield. Several bus routes run nearby into the town centre.
Good to know
- Check-in from 3pm, check-out by 11am. Self check-in via key safe, with the code sent before you arrive.
- Free on-street parking permit for one vehicle, arranged after you book.
- Dogs are welcome in the enclosed garden. Message us about house rules and the pet fee before you book.
- The property is over two floors and the stairs are steep, as is typical for period houses in this part of Colchester. It's not a good fit for guests with mobility issues, elderly guests unsteady on their feet, or young children who'd need supervision near the stairs.
