A top-floor one-bedroom apartment offering vacant possession and no onward chain, set within a modern development just a short walk from Colchester city centre and the mainline train station. The layout is straightforward: lounge/diner, fitted kitchen with appliances, double bedroom with built-in wardrobe and a bathroom with over-bath shower. Gas central heating, double glazing and an EPC rating of C keep running costs reasonable.
This property suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking a low-entry purchase close to shops, transport and local amenities. Permit parking for one vehicle and fast broadband/mobil e signal are practical extras. The development is relatively recent (built 2003–2006) and the service charge (£614.86 pa) and ground rent (£150 pa) are low compared with many leasehold schemes.
Important facts to note: the flat is leasehold with 102 years remaining, so buyers should review long-term lease implications and mortgage lender requirements. The local area is classified as a cosmopolitan student neighbourhood with higher deprivation levels; this brings rental demand but may not suit those seeking quieter suburban settings. Overall, a compact, well-presented apartment with clear potential for use as a starter home or rental investment.
