Summary - 9 GRANTHAM COURT COLCHESTER CO1 2RU
2 bed 1 bath Maisonette
Move-in ready home with private patio and long lease near Colchester centre.
Two double bedrooms, bright lounge with patio doors
This ground-floor two-bedroom maisonette is freshly decorated and offered chain free, ready for immediate occupation. The apartment benefits from a long 950-year lease, a modest annual service charge, and a private patio that opens onto well-kept communal gardens — a rare ground-floor spot with outside space close to Colchester town centre and Castle Park.
The layout is traditional and practical: a bright living room with sliding patio doors, two double bedrooms and a fitted kitchen with useful storage. Recent updates include a two-year-old hot water tank, an updated consumer unit and double glazing fitted after 2002, so major immediate works are unlikely.
Practical considerations: heating is via electric storage heaters and the EPC rating is D. Broadband speeds in the area are limited (around 20 Mbps reported), and local crime levels are recorded as very high — factors buyers should weigh alongside the low council tax band and long lease. Service charge and ground maintenance costs are around £1,175.76 per year.
Suitability: this property will appeal to first-time buyers seeking a move-in-ready starter home or to investors attracted by the long lease and central location. The maisonette’s peaceful garden aspect and proximity to schools, transport links and local amenities add to its everyday appeal.
