Palmer & Partners are delighted to present for sale this well-appointed first-floor apartment, exclusively for the over 55s, with no onward chain, situated within the prestigious Abberton Grange, a beautifully restored listed Queen Anne manor house in the ever-popular village of Abberton, just south of Colchester. This unique development combines character, security, and comfort, offering peaceful and private living with a strong sense of community. Set within landscaped communal gardens with far-reaching views over the Roman River Valley, Abberton Grange is designed to provide both independence and social opportunity.

The apartment itself comprises a good-sized entrance hallway with built-in storage, a spacious living room with direct access to a private balcony, a well-equipped fitted kitchen, a generous master bedroom, and a four-piece bathroom finished with tiled walls throughout. The property benefits from lift access to all floors, and parking is available without restriction for both residents and visitors.

Life at Abberton Grange offers flexibility and choice: Residents may enjoy social activities such as coffee mornings, games nights, and recreational clubs hosted in the elegant orangery, or opt for a quieter, more independent lifestyle. A courtesy taxi service to Colchester town centre ensures easy access to shops and local amenities, and an optional careline system with emergency pull-cord assistance is also available for added peace of mind.
