Situated in Colchester’s sought-after Dutch Quarter, this ground-floor two-bedroom apartment combines city-centre convenience with a private patio garden. The interior has been newly renovated with a modern kitchen/diner, spacious lounge and useful entrance storage — ready to move into for commuters, first-time buyers or investors seeking good rental potential.
Practical strengths include quick walking access to shops, bars and restaurants, easy links to Colchester North and Town stations for direct London trains, off-street permit parking and fast broadband/mobile connectivity. The layout (approximately 730 sq ft) feels generous for a two-bedroom apartment, particularly with the lounge opening onto the rear patio for outdoor relaxing or entertaining.
Be aware of material considerations: the property is leasehold with 93 years remaining, and it sits in a high-crime, deprived local area characterised by cosmopolitan student neighbourhoods. Those factors may affect mortgage options, insurance costs and rental demand profile. The building dates from the late 1970s/early 1980s and has partial cavity wall insulation; buyers should check communal maintenance responsibilities and service charges.
Overall this is a well-presented, practical city-centre apartment offering immediate move-in condition and excellent transport links. It will suit first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors who prioritise location and convenience, while purchasers sensitive to lease length, area crime rates or long-term capital growth should investigate further.
