Situated within this established over-55s development in the village of Abberton is this spacious two-bedroom first-floor apartment, offered for sale with no onward chain.
Location
The village of Abberton lies to the south of Colchester and is particularly well placed for those wanting access to both the city and the surrounding countryside. West Mersea and the wider Essex coastline are easily accessible, while neighbouring villages provide additional everyday amenities.
Colchester can be reached by road or local bus services, providing an extensive selection of shopping, leisure and healthcare facilities together with mainline railway connections.
Property
Internally, the property is arranged around a central hallway with storage cupboards and access to each room. The main reception space provides plenty of room for both sitting and dining furniture, with doors opening directly onto the apartment's own balcony and providing an outlook across the grounds.
The kitchen sits separately off the living space and incorporates a selection of fitted units, work surfaces, electric oven, hob and extractor, together with provision for further appliances.
Two double bedrooms provide comfortable accommodation, with the main bedroom featuring fitted wardrobe space and a private shower room. The second bedroom is equally suitable as a guest room, home office or additional sitting room if preferred. There is also a separate bathroom accessed from the hallway.
Outside & Communal Facilities
Abberton Grange has been designed specifically for those aged 55 and over, combining privately owned accommodation with shared facilities and outdoor spaces.
The apartment sits amongst established landscaped grounds which are maintained for the benefit of residents, with parking also provided within the development.
A particular feature is the residents' Orangery, which provides a shared space for meeting and socialising. Residents can choose to take part in organised events and activities, although these are entirely optional.
Further optional provisions include a Careline response service and courtesy transport.
