Chain-free, compact city living close to station, hospital and centre.
Top-floor one-bedroom apartment with balcony and north-facing views
This top-floor, one-bedroom apartment on Turner Road offers a compact, well-planned home with a balcony and open-plan living. The property is chain-free and sits within easy walking distance of Colchester North station, the city centre and the hospital — ideal for commuters or a buy-to-let purchaser seeking reliable rental demand.
The layout includes a generous entrance hall with storage, an open-plan kitchen/living area leading to a balcony with north-facing views over Colchester, a double bedroom and a bathroom. The block benefits from a lift to all floors and an allocated off-street parking space plus one visitor permit.
Practical costs and tenure are important: the apartment is leasehold with 114 years remaining, an average service charge of around £2,000pa and ground rent of approximately £360pa. The overall internal size is modest (about 374 sq ft), so it suits someone seeking low-maintenance city living or an investor looking for a compact rental unit. Energy rating C, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal add to everyday convenience.
Readers should note the service charge and ground rent when assessing running costs, and the apartment’s smaller floor area when comparing to other properties. On balance, this is a convenient, low-upkeep property in a well-connected part of Colchester, offered with no onward chain.
