Situated to the north of Colchester this two-bedroom second floor apartment offers a wealth of living accommodation combined with excellent links to both the A12 and North station.

Property Oracle says ..

This two-bedroom apartment in Mortimer Gardens, Colchester, is situated in the Highwoods area, known for its relatively convenient location to schools and transport links. The property itself is a standard apartment, and images show it to be reasonably well-maintained but needing some decluttering to enhance its overall appeal. The kitchen, while functional, presents a cluttered image, and one of the bedrooms similarly showcases a need for tidying and some organizational upgrades. While the exact square footage is given, the lack of data on square footage for comparable properties limits a comprehensive valuation. The communal outdoor space provides access to a green area. Considering similar properties on the market for approximately the same price, which often lack detailed square footage, the list price of £160,000 appears to be in line with the current market conditions in the area. More information regarding the apartment’s specifics (exact size, upgrades or unique features) would be required for a comprehensive evaluation of its value. The lack of a private garden might be a drawback for some buyers, while the close proximity to local schools and transport links is a definite plus. Overall, it presents itself as a decent option, potentially suitable for first-time buyers or investors, provided they are comfortable with the limited external space and the slight tidying needed.

Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
