Property Oracle says ..
This two-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment located on Axial Drive in Colchester is currently listed for £152,000. The property is part of a modern development and benefits from a convenient location near Braiswick Primary School, Colchester North Station providing good transport links and local shops.
While the exterior of the building appears well-maintained, the interior photographs reveal an incomplete finish. The flooring requires completion throughout the property, and several areas require painting, fixtures, and fitting work. The kitchen and bathroom, while functional, are similarly incomplete and lack a certain polish. The property is essentially a blank canvas and would require significant investment to complete and furnish. The absence of a garden, common for apartments, is a point to consider.
The listing price needs to be viewed in context of the incomplete state of the property. For a buyer willing to undertake renovation, this may present an opportunity, allowing them to customize the space to their preferences. Those looking for move-in ready accommodation should bear in mind the substantial costs of completing the interior. Given the proximity to transport links and a good local primary school, the location makes this property suitable for families and commuters alike, but buyers should prepare for the work ahead.
Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
