This ground-floor one-bedroom maisonette in Highwoods offers an affordable entry into Colchester with practical space and low running costs. The layout provides a spacious living room, fitted kitchen, double bedroom and bathroom — straightforward accommodation that suits a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor.
The home benefits from double glazing, low-energy lighting and excellent mobile and broadband connectivity, plus off-street communal parking and communal gardens. The long lease (954 years) and very low council tax reduce ongoing ownership costs and make mortgage lending and future resale simpler.
The property was constructed in the 1980s and presents with dated decor and fixtures; modernisation will unlock more value. Heating is via electric storage heaters, so expect higher heating costs than gas-heated homes. There are no known flooding or major building-safety issues.
Local amenities and transport are strong: several well-rated primary and secondary schools nearby, regular bus routes, quick access to the A12 and good rail links into London from Colchester North. This maisonette suits buyers seeking a low-maintenance, well-connected home or a straightforward rental investment with immediate occupancy potential.
