This compact one-bedroom apartment on De Grey Road is offered with no onward chain, making it a straightforward purchase for a first-time buyer or investor. Located in popular North Colchester, the flat sits in a modern block (built 2007–2011) with a lift and an allocated parking space, and shops and transport links are within walking distance.
The open-plan lounge/kitchen creates a bright, usable living area for city-style living; the property benefits from double glazing and a modern bathroom. The lease has about 109 years remaining and ground rent is modest at £200 per year. Council tax is very low, which helps running costs.
Buyers should note the apartment is small (approximately 345 sq ft) and heated by electric room heaters rather than a gas central system, which can increase energy bills. As a leasehold, additional one-off costs such as leasehold packs and conveyancing will apply. The property is presented in generally modern condition but offers limited room for major reconfiguration.
Overall this is a practical, low-hassle home or rental unit in an affluent area with good local schools and transport. It will suit someone seeking easy access to amenities and a simple move-in, or an investor wanting a ready-to-let, low-maintenance asset.
