The secret is unveiled in Colchester A rare opportunity for home buyers is about to be disclosed in Colchester, with the official public opening of the fully furnished show home at Knight Developments’ distinctive ‘Secret Garden’ development, being announced for 21st and 22nd March.

Taking on the town’s former central clinic site, situated adjacent to the castle and its stunning gardens and park, Knight Developments has transformed this prime location into a unique residential development.

A stylish blend of new build and imaginative regeneration, the aptly named Secret Garden development offers a peaceful haven in the centre of Colchester. Set in landscaped gardens and adjacent to the Sensory Garden area of the Castle Park, the convenience of its town centre location and close proximity to amenities is balanced by the sense of living in a rural retreat.

With striking views across the expansive park and appealing townscape, the apartments are situated behind the period buildings that line the high street, through which there is access on foot directly in to the town centre. Residents’ parking is available within the private gated development.

Knight Developments has established a reputation in the East of England for an exceptionally high standard of build and finish, with the apartments in the Secret Garden living up to their reputation. The apartments are of pleasingly modern design and extremely spacious, with fixtures and fittings supplied by superior brands that have been selected for their high level of quality and craftsmanship. The exterior, although sympathetic to the magnificent surroundings, typifies the contemporary elegance of modern architecture with aesthetically satisfying results.

As it stands, the Secret Garden is unique and a one time opportunity development in Colchester, but there is one more feature to this site that completes its package of charm.

An archaeological evaluation of the site revealed that the Secret Garden is in fact situated in the east central part of the original Roman town. Uncovering evidence of the ancient town road and dwellings, Knight sensitively developed the site in close partnership with the Colchester Archaeological Trust and English Heritage resulting in not only spectacular homes but a chance for their new owners to buy in to an enchanting piece of Colchester’s rich heritage.

The Secret Garden is open for viewing on 21st and 22nd March, from 10am to 5pm both days. Knight Developments staff will be in attendance each day to answer any questions along with advisors offering specialist finance and mortgage help and advice.
