Stunning new riverside penthouses for Colchester

The Collection – just six individually designed two-bedroom apartments and three-bedroom duplex penthouses - in the sought after riverside development of Colne View have just been released for sale by Barratt Eastern Counties on Thursday, 5th February. These striking homes offer a fantastic lifestyle in Colchester's most exciting new development.

Adam Lawrence, Barratt Regional Managing Director London and Thames Gateway comments: “With a huge amount of space and the proximity to excellent transport links, these apartments offer a great lifestyle. Add to this Colne View’s superb location and facilities, including shops and a private residents’ gym on site, and it all adds up to a very tempting package. It’s rare to find such outstanding homes in the town and we’re expecting a very high level of interest.”

Apartments in The Collection are set on the fourth and fifth floors of Newport Court. Each home has its own stunning individual design to provide an enviable lifestyle that is about comfort, convenience and sheer pleasure. Expansive windows flood daylight into the huge open-plan living space creating an amazing light area for relaxing or entertaining friends. The open plan designer kitchens have smart fully integrated appliances to complement the sleek look and spacious feel of the apartments.

This sense of space continues in the bedrooms, which are all generous doubles and nearly every bedroom has its own dressing area and en suite bathroom, for the ultimate convenience.

Most of the apartments are arranged on two levels with a feature spiral staircase winding up to the second floor. In some of the apartments there is a large separate study space on the upper floor, giving the flexibility to work from home.

The pièce de résistance in many of the apartments is a roof terrace that provides a wonderful outdoor space where in sunny weather you can enjoy a relaxed barbecue or entertain friends al fresco.

Colne View is located on the banks of the River Colne, just a few miles from Colchester town centre. It is part of the Colne Harbour regeneration project that is transforming the area into a vibrant new community. Residents enjoy free membership of ‘Energise’, the development’s residents-only gym, and there are shops literally on the doorstep. For trips to London, there is a direct train service from nearby Hythe Station to London Liverpool Street taking an hour and a quarter.

Prices of The Collection start from £189,995 for a two-bedroom apartment and from £269,000 for a three-bedroom penthouse.
