Offered for sale with no onward chain, Palmer & Partners are pleased to present this well-appointed two-bedroom first-floor apartment, situated within an attractive retirement development for the over-55s in the popular village of Abberton. Set within beautifully maintained grounds just south of Colchester, the property offers a peaceful setting with convenient access to Colchester city centre and Mersea Island.

Located within the grounds of Abberton Manor Care Home, the development is close to local bus routes and within walking distance of the village primary school. Residents also benefit from a range of communal facilities and services designed to support independent living.

The accommodation comprises a welcoming entrance hall with two built-in storage cupboards and an entry-phone system. The bright open-plan living area features a double-glazed window overlooking the communal gardens and a door opening onto a private balcony. The adjoining kitchen is fitted with a range of modern units, a four-ring ceramic hob, electric oven, extractor fan, one-and-a-half bowl sink unit, plumbing for a washing machine, and ample storage.

Both bedrooms are comfortable doubles, with the principal bedroom benefiting from a built-in wardrobe and en-suite shower room. A separate bathroom is fitted with a three-piece suite comprising a panel-enclosed bath, wash hand basin, and low-level WC.

Externally, the property benefits from residents' parking and access to the development's communal areas, including the elegant Orangery with tea and coffee-making facilities.

Life at Abberton Grange offers a balance of independence and community, with optional social activities such as coffee mornings, games evenings, and recreational clubs. Further benefits include a courtesy taxi service to Colchester city centre and an optional Careline emergency response system for added peace of mind.
