This ground-floor two-bedroom apartment in West Bergholt offers easy, low-maintenance village living with the convenience of Colchester North Station and the A12 close by. The layout is practical: a good-sized living room, fitted kitchen, master bedroom with en-suite, second double bedroom and a family bathroom. New UPVC double glazing was fitted in 2023 and the property benefits from gas central heating via a Worcester combi boiler.
The lease is extremely long (971 years remaining) and the sale is chain-free, which simplifies purchase and gives long-term security. Allocated off-street parking and a modern brick exterior reduce upkeep, making this suitable for buyers seeking a straightforward, manageable home or a retirement base in a comfortable neighbourhood.
Ongoing costs are material: the service charge is approximately £1,539.80 per year and current ground rent is £150 per year (scheduled increases in the early years of the lease). Broadband speeds are reported as very slow locally, which may matter if you work from home or stream regularly. The freeholder has offered to sell the share of freehold for a fee, should you wish to pursue greater control over costs and management.
Overall this is a sensible, practical property for someone wanting immediate occupation with minimal renovation required, but buyers should factor in running costs and the limited broadband performance when deciding to view.
