Taste life in a new property in Colchester

A stunning showhome will have to be seen to be believed when it is released at Praecedo, Taylor Wimpey’s development of new properties in Colchester.
Home-hunters will soon be able to experience a tantalising taste of the life they could be leading at Taylor Wimpey’s Praecedo development in Colchester.
The leading housebuilder’s expert interior designers are currently hard at work making sure the three-bedroom ‘Harkin’ show property in Colchester is fabulously finished in the latest styles ahead of its official launch on Saturday 27th October.
Featuring many fixtures, fittings and furnishings from Taylor Wimpey’s superb range of interior Options, the new showhome will offer visitors the chance to see first-hand what can be achieved with one of Taylor Wimpey’s typical new homes in Colchester.
Michael O’Leary, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey, says: “Our professional design team is pulling out all the stops to make sure the ‘Harkin’ showhome is dressed to impress, and we can’t wait to welcome the first Colchester property-seekers.
“We don’t want to reveal too many details about the new showhome before its official launch, but one thing’s for sure – it will have to be seen to be believed!”
The ‘Harkin’ is a wonderful three-storey terraced house, featuring a spacious living/dining room opening through French doors to the private rear garden, plus a contemporary kitchen and a guest cloakroom off the entrance hallway.
Upstairs, the first-floor landing leads to two well-proportioned bedrooms and a main bathroom, while the en-suite master bedroom enjoys appealing seclusion on the top floor. Homes of this design are on sale now from just £179,995.
Two-bedroom houses are currently on sale at Praecedo from as little as £157,995, alternative three-bedroom homes from only £194,995 and four-bedroom properties from just £249,995.
All new homes at Praecedo are completed to a high standard specification, including energy efficient central heating, double glazing and a fitted kitchen with integrated oven, hob and hood.
Praecedo – which means to surpass or excel in Latin, in a nod to Colchester’s famous Roman heritage – is a collection of high-quality properties in a well-connected yet peaceful location overlooking the cricket ground in Mersea Road, with the tranquil open space of Abbey Field beyond.
The development’s convenient location offers huge appeal for those who work locally and who enjoy being within easy reach of a wide range of leisure pursuits, including pubs, restaurants and sports facilities. A choice of schools for children of all ages is also close by, as are two universities.
Colchester is a vibrant town with a fascinating history. From the old weavers’ cottages in the charming Dutch Quarter, the historic Castle Museum and Castle Park, to art galleries and cutting-edge exhibitions as well as an eclectic selection of shops, bars and restaurants, there is something for everyone.
Commuters will appreciate good rail and road links to Chelmsford, Brentwood and London as well as to Ipswich, Bury St Edmunds, Cambridge and the Midlands. Colchester Town railway station is located just a short walk from home for regular services to London Liverpool Street.
