This ground-floor two-bedroom maisonette sits in the popular Prettygate area, offering practical, low-maintenance living with two allocated parking spaces and communal gardens. New windows and doors plus a two-year-old boiler reduce immediate maintenance costs and contribute to a reasonable EPC C rating. The layout includes a lounge/diner, kitchen, two bedrooms and a family bathroom across about 530 sq ft.
The property is leasehold with 95 years remaining, a service charge averaging £1,362 pa and a small £200 ground rent — important costs to factor into affordability. The overall internal footprint is compact, so buyers seeking generous living space should note the modest room sizes. Walls are likely uninsulated (original cavity construction), which may mean further insulation work for energy efficiency gains.
Location strengths include very low local crime, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, plus easy access to local shops, bus routes and good primary and secondary schools. Transport links to Colchester city centre and mainline stations make this suitable for commuters or investors seeking a steady rental market.
This maisonette will suit first-time buyers or investors after a well-presented, low-upkeep home in an affluent suburb. Viewings are recommended to appreciate the condition and layout in person and to confirm any potential improvement plans.
