Summary - 28 Abberton Grange, Layer Road CO5 7NL
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Chain-free two-bedroom retirement flat with communal facilities and landscaped gardens.
Ground-floor flat — easy access, no stairs
This ground-floor two-bedroom flat at Abberton Grange is designed for comfortable retirement living. Built in 2011 and offering level access, the apartment sits within well-kept communal grounds and benefits from elegant shared rooms and sociable dining facilities — ideal for someone seeking low-maintenance, community-focused living close to Colchester.
Inside is a bright open-plan kitchen and living area with modern fitted units and laminate flooring, plus two roomy bedrooms and a bathroom with wet-room-style shower over a bath. The apartment is compact but efficiently laid out (approximately 623 sq ft) and includes off-street parking and a small private outside area, combining convenience with a peaceful village setting.
Practical considerations: the property is leasehold (about 103 years remaining) with an annual service charge around £4,000 and ground rent of £100. Heating is electric with a boiler and radiators, so running costs may be higher than gas-heated homes. The flat is strictly for residents aged 55+, and the communal nature of the development means some decisions are governed by the service and management arrangements.
Overall, this chain-free apartment will suit an older buyer or downsizer wanting a secure, sociable retirement community, attractive gardens and low-maintenance living, provided they are comfortable with the leasehold costs and electric heating configuration.
