Summary - Flat 37 Lancer House, Butt Road, COLCHESTER CO2 7WE
1 bed 2 bath Apartment
Purpose-built, low‑maintenance flat with on-site care options and communal facilities.
West‑facing walk‑out balcony with afternoon sun
This well-presented one-bedroom apartment on the second floor of Lancer House is designed for comfortable, low‑maintenance retirement living. The lounge opens onto a west‑facing walk‑out balcony that captures afternoon sun. The layout includes a separate fitted kitchen, generous bedroom with walk‑in wardrobe, a wet room and a separate cloakroom, totalling about 712 sq ft.
Lancer House is a purpose-built Retirement Living PLUS development (over‑70s) with extensive communal facilities: bistro restaurant, club lounge, wellness suite, guest suite, laundry and a staffed on‑site management team with 24‑hour emergency response. Flexible, CQC‑registered personal care packages are available from the on‑site team if required.
Practical strengths include modern construction (built 2019), energy‑saving features (double glazing, heat recovery, photovoltaic panels, insulated walls), a long lease (c.993 years) and good digital connectivity. The property is offered with no onward chain and standard integrated Bosch kitchen appliances.
Important considerations: the annual service charge is high (£9,655.44 for year ending 30/09/2026) and ground rent is £435 pa; buyers should confirm what’s covered and check eligibility for any entitlement benefits. Residents must meet the development’s age requirement (70+). The local area records higher crime levels than average, which some buyers may wish to factor into a viewing decision.
