CHAIN FREE: Superbly located within easy reach of the popular Crouch Street shopping parade and Colchester's busy city centre is this spacious, recently decorated, one-bedroom, retirement residence. This second floor flat has lovely views including the communal gardens. It provides over 60s accommodation in a development originally built by McCarthy Stone. There are lifts to all floors, a communal lounge, guest suite, laundry facilities, and a house manager.

The lounge and bedroom have a Fisher radiator in each room - these are individually controlled by their own thermostats. They are very efficient as they have an inbuilt convecting chamber with a fire clay core with heating elements. Also, there is a electric Fischer boiler which does not require annual servicing and because of it's minimal size - leaves ample room to store other objects.The whole system has a 10year Manufacturers warranty in place.

Located just outside the centre of Colchester is the popular and modern development of Balkerne Heights granting easy access to restaurants, bars, the vast amounts of shops and the city streets are often lined with stalls on market days. For your entertainment, there is the cinema, Mercury Theatre, Arts Centre, and the historic Castle and its parklands, which often hosts many fetes and concerts. In just under one kilometre from the property is North Station with its direct railway links to Ipswich, Norwich and London Liverpool Street.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on December 26, 2021

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
