The Mill, East Colchester

Boydens are delighted to present this beautifully appointed three-bedrom duplex apartment, located in the sought-after Mill Apartments, within walking distance of Castle Park and the city centre.

This stunning residence is situated within a Grade II listed building dating back to the 1890s, originally constructed as a flour mill. Thoughtfully converted, the building retains much of it’s historical charm while offering the benefits of modern living. Residents enjoy secure allocated parking for one car with remote-controlled electric gates, a welcoming reception area with concierge service, a private gym, lift access to all floors, and a secure bicycle storage facility.

The apartment has been meticulously maintained by the current owners, with a thoughtful programme of upgrades carried out over recent years to ensure both comfort and style. These include the installation of a boiler and hot water cylinder, providing reliable and efficient heating and hot water throughout the home. A bespoke Howdens kitchen was installed in 2020, expertly designed to combine functionality, storage and integrated appliances with elegant, quality finishes. The recent decoration of the lower level, entrance hall and stairwell creates a bright and welcoming environment.
The spacious and versatile accommodation is accessed via an entrance hall with staircase to the upper level and convenient storage. An inner hall leads to all principal rooms on the lower level, including a contemporay cloakroom.

The impressive open-plan living area is zoned into three functional spaces – kitchen, dining and lounge – making it ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. Four south-facing arched windows flood the space with natural light while providing picturesque views of the River Colne. Also on this level is the elegant principal bedroom, which features two south-facing and two east-facing arched windows, and a dressing area with fitted Hammonds wardrobes. The en-suite boasts a modern white suite as well as a generous double shower cubicle.

The upper floor comprises two further double-bedrooms, enhanced by timber beams, ample storage, built-in wardrobes, skylights and individual en-suites. A versatile central room – currently used as a home office – separates the bedrooms, making this level ideal for guests or family members.

The Mill Apartments enjoy a prime location at the foot of East Hill, with access to Lower Castle Park, adjacent cycle paths and within easy reach of Colchester’s vibrant city centre.
