Property
Michaels Property Consultants are delighted to present to the market this distinctive three bedroom terraced residence, forming part of the historic Brigadier House development, conveniently positioned within walking distance of Colchester's city centre. Dating back to approximately 1904, this former officers' mess once served Colchester's military garrison and has since undergone an extensive programme of restoration and conversion, combining its original Edwardian architecture with modern living accommodation. The property offers a wealth of character throughout, alongside three double bedrooms, two bathrooms, a private courtyard garden and two allocated parking spaces.

The ground floor accommodation commences with an entrance hallway, leading through to an impressive open-plan living and dining room, providing generous space for both everyday living and entertaining. The adjoining kitchen has been fitted with a contemporary range of high-gloss units, incorporating integrated appliances, a NEFF double oven and a ceramic sink. A ground floor cloakroom completes the accommodation on this level.

Ascending to the first floor, three well-proportioned double bedrooms are available, with the principal bedroom benefiting from its own en-suite shower room. One of the additional bedrooms features decorative wall panelling and a traditional dado rail, whilst a separate family bathroom serves the remaining accommodation.

Throughout the property, considerable attention has been given to retaining and complementing its original character, with restored sash windows, bespoke fitted shutters, oak flooring and ceilings extending to approximately 10ft in height. Underfloor heating and a selection of integrated storage cupboards provide further practical benefits.

Externally, the property enjoys its own enclosed courtyard garden, providing a private, low-maintenance outside space suitable for seating and entertaining. Residents also benefit from access to maintained communal gardens, whilst two allocated off-road parking spaces offer a particularly useful addition for such a central location.

Location
Brigadier House occupies an established position within Colchester's historic city centre, offering convenient access to an extensive selection of independent retailers, restaurants, cafés, shopping facilities and leisure amenities.

The nearby Abbey Field provides an attractive expanse of open space, whilst Colchester's Castle Park and the surrounding historic attractions are also within easy reach. Colchester Town railway station is conveniently located for local rail services and onward connections towards London Liverpool Street, making the location particularly suitable for those requiring access to the capital.

The surrounding road network also provides convenient access to the A12, connecting Colchester with Chelmsford, Ipswich and destinations further afield.

Viewings
In our opinion, Brigadier House presents an excellent opportunity to acquire a characterful Edwardian residence with an interesting military heritage, offering generous accommodation and modern conveniences within a central city location. An internal viewing is strongly recommended to appreciate the proportions, architectural detailing and overall presentation of this individual home.
