Practical comforts include gas central heating, double glazing throughout and an allocated off-street parking space. The property is chain free and sits on a long lease (101 years remaining), making purchase straightforward for buyers wanting a quick transaction.
Buyers should note the apartment is small at about 502 sq ft and carries annual service charges and ground rent (approx. £1,224 and £150 respectively). The building sits in an area with a high proportion of private renters and a local profile described as cosmopolitan student neighbourhoods; daytime convenience is strong but some buyers may experience student-related activity and higher local turnover.
Overall this is an affordable, well-located flat for someone prioritising town-centre access and low initial fuss. It suits first-time buyers looking to buy-in to Colchester or investors seeking a centrally positioned tenancy, provided they accept the compact size and ongoing leasehold costs.
