Summary - SPIRITUS HOUSE FLAT 28 HAWKINS ROAD COLCHESTER CO2 8LE
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Affordable city living near university and station with allocated parking and balcony view.
Top-floor two-bedroom with balcony and open-plan living space
This third-floor, two-bedroom apartment offers an affordable entry into Colchester with sensible commuter links — Hythe station and the University are within easy reach. The open-plan living area leads on to a balcony, and the property includes an allocated off-street parking space.
Practical details matter: the lease has about 109 years remaining, and service charge and ground rent are typical for the block (£2,068 and £300 per year respectively). Energy performance is D and primary heating is by electric room heaters, which may mean higher running costs than gas-heated homes.
Suitability is strongest for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking a city-location apartment with straightforward maintenance and good broadband and mobile reception. The building is modern with double glazing and communal grounds, but the local area records higher crime levels, so viewings are recommended to assess security and feel.
Overall the apartment is a compact, well-located home with clear pros — balcony, parking, transport links — paired with practical considerations: EPC D, electric heating, and ongoing service charges.
