Practical running costs and ownership details are clear: the lease has approximately 125 years remaining, annual service charge £1,512 and ground rent £202. Heating is electric with room heaters rather than gas central heating, which may affect energy bills and tenant appeal.
Outdoors the property benefits from an allocated off-street parking space and a small paved entrance/courtyard within a neatly maintained modern development. The location to the south of Colchester gives quick access to local shops, good schools, frequent trains to London and nearby A12 road links — strong conveniences for commuters or renters.
