Summary -
43 Grosvenor Place,COLCHESTER,CO1 2ZD
CO1 2ZD
2 bed 2 bath Apartment
Compact, modern flat ideal for commuters seeking low-maintenance city living.
Riverside balcony with river views
This first-floor two-bedroom apartment occupies a riverside position with a private balcony overlooking the River Colne, making it a bright and attractive home for a first-time buyer or commuter. The open-plan living area features a contemporary kitchen with granite worktops and integrated appliances, plus French doors that flood the space with natural light.
Both bedrooms are doubles; the principal bedroom benefits from an en-suite shower room, while a separate modern bathroom serves guests. Practical features include lift access, an allocated gated parking space, and residents-only indoor swimming pool — useful lifestyle extras that are uncommon for this price band.
Buyers should note the property is leasehold with 103 years remaining. Annual costs include a service charge of approximately £3,335 and a ground rent of £150. The apartment is compact at about 550 sq ft and therefore best suited to those seeking a low-maintenance city base rather than a large family home.
Location is a clear strength: a short walk to Colchester’s city centre and good rail links for commuters. However, factual considerations include a medium flood risk in the area and a reported very high local crime level; prospective buyers should satisfy themselves on insurance, security measures, and local statistics before committing.
