Property Oracle says ..
This two bedroom apartment is located in Mortimer Gardens, Colchester, within the Highwoods area. The property benefits from being close to local schools such as The Gilberd School (Outstanding Ofsted rating) and several primary schools with good Ofsted ratings. Colchester town centre and train station are also within reasonable commuting distance, approximately 3-4km. The apartment itself appears to be in good condition, clean and well-maintained based on the provided images. While the plot size is 0 sqft, there is access to communal green space which is visible in the provided images. The list price of £160,000 is significantly below the average price for the area (£319,444), and the average price per sqft (£322). However, this is likely due to the smaller size of the apartment (750 sqft) compared to the average (989 sqft) and the fact that it is an apartment rather than a house. Considering the condition, location and amenities, the price appears to be reasonable for a first-time buyer, especially given the lower average price per sqft compared to nearby properties.
Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
