This second-floor, two-bedroom apartment on Quayside Drive offers a compact, modern home in a well-connected part of Colchester. With an en-suite to the master, a second bedroom suitable for tenants or a home office, and an open-plan living area opening onto a private balcony, the layout is practical and low-maintenance.
The property sits within a contemporary development beside the River Colne and is a short walk from Hythe train station and the University of Essex — strong location positives for commuters, students and buy-to-let investors. Allocated off-street parking and a secure communal entrance add everyday convenience.
Be clear about limitations: total living space is small (approximately 386 sq ft), the neighbourhood has a higher recorded crime rate, and the flat is leasehold. These factors are reflected in the guide price and will influence resale and tenant demand. The lease has around 134 years remaining and the property is offered chain-free, which eases transaction speed.
For an investor or first-time buyer seeking a low-upkeep city flat close to transport and the university, this apartment presents straightforward rental potential and easy management. For buyers wanting generous space, rural views or a very quiet neighbourhood, this urban apartment will feel limited.
