Set across three floors of a handsome Georgian-style building, this two-bedroom duplex offers a distinctive, compact home in the heart of Colchester. The master bedroom occupies the vaulted upper level with its own en-suite, while a second bedroom and family bathroom sit on the lower level. An open-plan living/kitchen area opens onto a private balcony, adding outdoor space in a town-centre setting.
Practical points suit first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors: the lease has c.124 years remaining, ground rent is a small £250, and there is off-street visitor parking plus bike parking and a bin shed. Broadband and mobile signal are strong and the property is within easy reach of Colchester station, shops, schools and cultural amenities.
Be clear about constraints: the flat is compact for a two-bedroom, has no private garden and sits on a busy town street. Crime levels in the immediate area are recorded as high, and the building’s solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated, which could mean higher heating costs or future upgrade work. Council tax is noted as affordable, and there is no flooding risk.
