A well-presented one-bedroom apartment on the second floor offering low-maintenance living close to Colchester town centre. The block was built in the early 2000s and benefits from double glazing, gas central heating and lift access, making it suitable for first-time buyers, professionals or buy-to-let investors seeking a straightforward, modern home.
The flat is compact (c.593 sq ft) with an open-plan living area, a fitted galley kitchen and a double bedroom. Service charges are notably low at £180 per year (stated to include gas and water) and there is off-street parking and communal gardens maintained through the service charge, which reduces ongoing upkeep for occupants.
Important practical points to check: the property is leasehold with a ground rent of £215 per year but the lease length and other lease terms are not provided and should be confirmed before proceeding. There are also seller-requested exclusivity and processing fees noted — a £2,000 exclusivity fee and a £200 processing fee — which are unusual and should be clarified legally.
The area is described as affluent with good local amenities, excellent mobile signal and average broadband speeds. However, recorded local crime levels are high; prospective buyers should consider local safety and commute factors alongside the property’s affordability and low running costs.
