Set in the sought-after St Marys area of Colchester, this chain-free three-bedroom duplex occupies a generous 1,346 sq ft across split levels. The upper floor is dominated by a very large open-plan lounge/diner opening to a modern fitted kitchen, while the principal bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes and an en suite. Two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom sit on the lower level, giving flexible living space for a family or sharers.
The apartment is modern throughout, double-glazed and gas centrally heated, with allocated off-street parking in a gated courtyard development. The long lease (132 years remaining) and immediate availability make it a straightforward purchase for a first-time buyer or a buy-to-let investor — expected rent is around £1,600 pcm. The city-centre location places shops, restaurants and the train station within easy walking distance.
Buyers should note material cost and management facts: the property is leasehold with ground rent (£392 pa) and an annual service charge (c. £1,933 pa). Council tax is above average for the area. Communal external space is limited to low-maintenance landscaping — there is no private garden. Connectivity is mixed: excellent mobile signal but reported slow broadband speeds. The local crime index is higher than average, which may matter to some purchasers.
Overall this duplex offers spacious, low-maintenance city living with strong rental potential and an immediate move-in opportunity, but budget for ongoing leasehold charges and consider broadband and local safety factors when deciding to view.
