Summary - Albany Gardens, Colchester CO2 8HQ
2 bed 2 bath Apartment
Compact two-bed near university, long lease and allocated parking.
Upper-floor two-bedroom apartment, approx. 510 sqft
This upper-floor two-bedroom apartment in Albany Gardens offers a compact, modern living space well suited to first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. The property includes two double bedrooms, an en suite to the master and a separate four-piece bathroom, plus an open-plan lounge/diner and kitchen. The long lease (134 years) and allocated off-street parking add practical value.
The building dates from the early 2000s and benefits from double glazing, mains gas central heating and communal grounds. Its location makes it convenient for local amenities and Essex University, which supports rental demand and resale appeal for purchasers seeking an income-producing asset or an entry-level home.
Buyers should note the apartment is small (approximately 510 sq ft) and presents basic fittings and finishes, so anyone wanting more space or a high-spec interior should factor potential refurbishment costs. Annual charges include a service charge around £1,960 and ground rent of £192, and the area records higher-than-average crime levels — these are material considerations for both owner-occupiers and landlords.
Overall this is a straightforward, sensibly priced leasehold apartment that delivers long-lease security and practical features for commuting students or professionals, but it will suit those prepared for compact living and the ongoing running costs associated with apartment ownership.
