Occupying part of a beautifully converted former Army stable block, this exceptional two-bedroom terraced residence offers a wonderful blend of historic architecture, contemporary design and high-quality finishes.

Positioned within easy reach of Colchester's vibrant city centre, the property enjoys a highly convenient setting, with an excellent selection of independent shops, restaurants, cafés, bars and everyday amenities nearby.
The historic Abbey Fields provides an attractive open green space within close proximity, ideal for leisurely walks and outdoor recreation. Colchester's transport connections are another notable advantage, with convenient access to city centre rail services and mainline connections to London Liverpool Street, making the location particularly appealing to commuters.
The Property
Behind its characterful exterior, the accommodation has been thoughtfully arranged across two floors, with a distinctive reverse-level layout that makes excellent use of the building's original architecture.
Upon entering, a welcoming hallway provides access to two generously proportioned ground-floor bedrooms, both featuring wall-mounted lighting, with useful inset storage adding to the practicality of the accommodation. Completing this level is a luxurious, fully tiled bathroom, which has been further enhanced and upgraded by the current owner to provide a stylish and contemporary finish.
Ascending to the first floor, the property opens into an impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and living area, undoubtedly the centrepiece of this remarkable home. Designed to accommodate both comfortable everyday living and entertaining, this beautifully presented space showcases the building's heritage through exposed brickwork and distinctive original arched windows.
The dual-aspect arrangement allows natural light to flow throughout, creating a bright and inviting atmosphere, while underfloor heating adds a further element of modern comfort. The well-appointed kitchen incorporates a comprehensive range of integrated appliances and high-specification finishes, seamlessly complementing the open-plan arrangement.
