Description

Abberton Grange, Abberton
An upgraded and improved two bedroom over 55's apartment. 
Guide Price £160,000 - £170,000

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.

Summary
Viewings are available via Michaels Property Consultants.

About Michaels Property Consultants Ltd, Colchester

Rebow House 62 Head Street Colchester CO1 1PB

A Fresh Approach To Buying & Selling Property.

At Michaels Property Consultants we pride ourselves in being different. We don't practice as stereotypical estate agents: talking at people and hard selling.

We listen to our clients. Every customer is different, they have their own needs and timescales and we are dedicated to putting these first. With over 30 years combined experience in property, we have developed extensive knowledge of the local area and we are able to give our customers genuine, professional advice at all times, whether they're buying or selling.

We provide advice on what people really want to know, whether it be regarding schools, local amenities or even where to eat. We also offer a private service to investment buyers, assisting them in making the best decisions in building their portfolios.

Michaels understand that a person's home is more than likely to be their biggest financial asset, so we use the highest quality of marketing to ensure that we achieve the best price possible.

We strive to provide people with a customer service beyond their expectations and we are so confident in delivering this that if you are marketing your home with us and not satisfied, we ask for just 14 days written notice at any given time.
