** Guide Price £80,000 to £90,000 ** Discover your perfect retirement haven in the heart of Colchester City Centre! This well-proportioned one-bedroom apartment offers the ideal blend of comfort, convenience, and community living for those aged 55 and over
Property Oracle says ..
This one-bedroom retirement apartment in Colchester’s Castle area presents a potentially attractive option for those seeking convenient city centre living. The property’s proximity to Colchester Town train station and several good schools is a significant advantage. The apartment is presented in reasonable condition, although the decor could benefit from modernisation. The photographs show a functional kitchen, modern bathroom and well-maintained living area.
The lack of extensive private outdoor space is a noteworthy consideration, but this may be offset by the access to communal gardens. The absence of precise square footage data for comparative properties makes it difficult to definitively assess the value for money offered. However, the listed price appears broadly in line with other one-bedroom retirement apartments in the vicinity, suggesting reasonable value for its location and condition. Overall, it’s a viable option for a buyer seeking a well-located, low-maintenance apartment in central Colchester, ideal for someone aged 55 or over.
Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
