Summary - Northgate House CO1 1LQ
2 bed 2 bath Apartment
Chain-free, move-in-ready apartment with gated parking and town access.
Chain-free two double-bedroom apartment with ensuite and second bathroom
Set within Northgate House on St. Peter’s Street, this chain-free apartment delivers a ready-to-live urban base with bright, contemporary interiors. The open-plan living room, walnut-style flooring and large windows create a naturally zoned social space, while a sleek fitted kitchen and two modern bathrooms keep everyday running simple. The principal bedroom includes built-in wardrobes and an ensuite, giving comfortable privacy for two occupants or flexible use as a home office.
Practical details suit city buyers: gated parking provides secure vehicle access, the lease has 116 years remaining, and the property is offered with no onward chain. Annual service charges and a small ground rent apply (service charge approx. £1,835; ground rent £250). Heating is electric with room heaters; this works for a low-maintenance flat but can mean higher running costs compared with gas-heated homes.
Location is a major asset. The apartment sits in Colchester city centre within easy walking distance of shops, cafés, cultural venues and parks, plus good rail connections. For families, several well-rated primary and secondary schools are close by. Note the area records higher-than-average crime levels and broadband speeds in the building are reported very slow—worth checking for those who need fast home working or streaming.
Overall, this is a well-presented, average-sized two-bedroom apartment that will appeal to first-time buyers or investors seeking a low-fuss city centre property with long lease security and gated parking. Be aware of electric heating, service charges, broadband limitations and local crime statistics when assessing suitability.
