Description
Unique opportunity to occupy a high quality refurbished office space within the historic former Colchester Garrison.
The detached, self-contained building has recently been thoughtfully refurbished to an incredibly high standard, blending modern functionality with respectful preservation of its rich military heritage.
Careful attention has been given to retain and highlight original architectural features, which now serve as charming reminders of the building's past.
The office offers predominantly open-plan accommodation, with separate office/meeting rooms and a welcoming reception area. Key features include LED lighting, high-speed fibre broadband options (BT and Virgin), tastefully designed kitchenettes and WC facilities, an integrated alarm system, and carpeting. The office also benefits from concealed low level heating and cooling units powered by external air source heat pumps. Throughout the refurbished space, subtle design elements reference the building's legacy.
Externally, the paved courtyard provides ample on-site parking (12 marked bays, but potentially more if double parked), within a fully fenced and gated site.
LOCATION
Situated to the south-west of Colchester, the property lies approx. 2 miles from Colchester City Centre. Colchester Town Station is a short 3-minute drive away, offering direct rail services to London Liverpool Street (approx. 55 mins).
The site benefits from excellent transport connectivity, with convenient access to the A12 and A120 trunk roads, with nearby towns including Ipswich (18 miles northeast), Braintree (16.5 miles west), and Chelmsford (24 miles southeast).
Orderly House forms part of the historic Colchester Garrison, with its origins dating back to the mid-19th century. Constructed between 1862 and 1864, it was the first permanent barracks built for the garrison and served as a cornerstone of British military infrastructure. A nod to its historical significance, the main gate - now recognised with an honorary blue plaque - once served as the principal entrance to the Cavalry Barracks.
