This top-floor, two-bedroom apartment in Dugard House is presented in contemporary condition and suits first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors looking for a compact, low-maintenance home. The open-plan kitchen/living area maximises the footprint, and the principal bedroom benefits from an ensuite. Allocated off-street parking and a secure entry system add practical convenience.
The flat is small at c.381 sq ft, so space is efficient rather than generous; the layout works well for a single occupant, couple or as a rental unit. There is no private garden and external space is limited. The building is a mid-20th century block with a straightforward, low-maintenance brick exterior.
Tenure is leasehold with c.120 years remaining. Annual service charge and ground rent are notable: average service charge £1,546 and ground rent £180 — factor these into running costs alongside an affordable council tax band. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, which supports home working or tenant appeal.
Location is practical: Stanway Retail Park, local shops and bus links are close by, with Colchester town centre and rail connections a short drive. The surrounding area is described as comfortable suburbia in a very affluent ward with generally average crime levels. Overall this is a well-presented, compact apartment offering immediate move-in potential or steady rental income, provided buyers accept the smaller footprint and ongoing service costs.
