A well-presented one-bedroom retirement flat in Salter Court, a McCarthy Stone development within easy reach of Colchester city centre and Crouch Street shops. The first-floor apartment offers a comfortable lounge with Juliette balcony, a good-sized double bedroom with fitted wardrobe, and a practical, fitted kitchen. Communal facilities include a residents' lounge, laundry room, guest suite and attractively terraced gardens.
This apartment suits downsizers seeking low-maintenance, centrally located retirement living. It has electric storage heating and double glazing; the current owners report it has been well maintained. Parking is available for residents on a first-come, first-served basis and the building benefits from communal event activity and nearby amenities including shops, theatre and direct rail links from North Station.
Be clear on the running costs: the lease has 107 years remaining, ground rent £395 pa and annual service charges around £2,940. Heating is by electric storage radiators rather than gas, and the property sits in an area recorded with higher crime levels, which may be a consideration for some buyers. Overall this is a convenient, low-upkeep retirement apartment with communal support and city-centre access, suitable for those prioritising location and amenities over low running costs and private parking.
