A spacious two-bedroom apartment set within a handsome period terrace on sought-after Lexden Road, a short walk from Colchester town centre and mainline rail links. At approximately 931 sq ft the accommodation feels generous for a first home, with high ceilings, sash windows, a large living room and French doors that open onto a private courtyard-style garden. The master bedroom benefits from an en suite and there is also a separate modern bathroom.
Practical conveniences include allocated off-street parking, communal entrance, useful storage and a utility room. The location is strong for schools and local amenities, with easy access to the train station (approx. 50 minutes to London Liverpool Street) and a variety of shops, cafes and cultural attractions nearby.
Important factual points: the property is leasehold with about 101 years remaining, offered chain free. The building dates from the 1930–49 period and has solid brick walls (likely no built-in insulation), so expect lower thermal performance and the potential need for energy-efficiency improvements. Broadband speeds are reported as slow. Local crime levels are higher than average, which may be a consideration for some buyers.
Overall this is a roomy, characterful apartment that suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking central convenience and strong rental/letting potential. Budget for modest energy upgrades and factor the leasehold position into purchase plans.
