The sunshine after the rain

Those feeling wet and despondent after Britain’s soggy summer should consider relocating to Colchester. The bustling market town in Essex is lucky enough to boast Britain’s lowest rainfall.

Prospective buyers should look no further than Fortuna Park, a new development by Countryside Annington on Lordswood Road, off Layer Road, offering a collection of high quality one and two bedroom apartments, and two, three and four bedroom houses. Fortuna Park is located less than two miles from Colchester city centre and just minutes away from glorious countryside.

Yvonne Hudson-Green, Sales and Marketing Director for Countryside Properties, says: “In addition to enjoying lower amounts of rain to the rest of the country, which following this summer is certainly a blessing, over the next few years Colchester is set to be transformed with £1.5 billion being spent on regeneration in the area. This makes the area a real property hot spot with the value for property set to rise substantially over the coming years.”

Colchester is served by excellent road and train links which make London, Norwich, Ipswich, Braintree, Southend and Stansted Airport easily accessible via the A12 and its links to the A130, A120 and the M25. Additionally, the train journey to London Liverpool Street is less than an hour, meaning it is easily commutable.

The second phase of Fortuna Park has recently been released, after phase one sold out quickly. In addition to the one, two and three bedroom houses in this phase, the four bedroom properties boast interior space of up to 1,800 square feet, and as such, are already receiving a great deal of interest. The new homes feature a wide variety of different internal layouts and every home is fitted with the latest sleek and stylish modern specification.

As a further incentive to buy at Fortuna Park, up to four residents are entitled to a free month’s bus pass when they move into their new home. Not only will this offer an environmentally friendly travel option, it will also make travel throughout the town even easier! Residents can travel into Colchester’s town centre whilst soaking up the sun and enjoy the wide variety of bars, restaurants, cafés and boutique-style shops.

Prices at Fortuna Park start from £138,950. For further information on the new homes available at Fortuna Park visit Fortunapark.co.uk.
