Summary - 53 NORTH HILL, COLCHESTER CO1 1PY
2 bed 2 bath Duplex
Ideal commuter home moments from Colchester mainline station.
Extremely large overall size across three split-level floors
A generously sized, split-level duplex set across three floors in the heart of Colchester. The layout provides flexible living with two double bedrooms, a private en-suite to the main bedroom, a modern kitchen and a balcony with elevated views over North Hill — ideal for first-time buyers seeking space and character.
The building retains period character with a Georgian brick façade and high ceilings, while the interior benefits from recent upgrades such as double glazing and a modern kitchen. Commuters will appreciate the short walk to the mainline station and immediate access to city-centre shops, cafes and amenities.
Practical details: the property is leasehold with 125 years remaining. Annual service charge and ground rent are payable (circa £1,500 service charge; £250 ground rent). The building is solid brick (likely no cavity insulation), so consider potential energy-efficiency improvements. Crime levels in the area are higher than average; buyers should factor that into security and insurance costs.
This home offers a rare combination of space, period charm and city-centre convenience. It suits buyers wanting a roomy first home or a city-base with excellent transport links, while those prioritising minimal maintenance or detached privacy should note communal charges and urban location.
