Prestigious new homes in Colchester are coming soon

Taylor Wimpey is set to unveil a stunning selection of high-specification properties at Praecedo, its brand new development of new homes for sale in Colchester, Essex.

Exciting opportunities to own a beautiful brand new home in a unique period setting are coming soon for property-seekers in search of apartments or houses for sale in Colchester – courtesy of leading housebuilder Taylor Wimpey.

Praecedo – which means to surpass or excel in Latin, in a nod to the town’s famous Roman heritage – will be an upmarket collection of high-quality new build homes in Colchester in a well-connected yet peaceful location overlooking the cricket ground in Mersea Road with the tranquil open space of Abbey Field beyond.

This fabulous collection of property for sale in Colchester will occupy the historic tree-lined site of the former Meeanee and Hyderabad Barracks. The development will include the sensitive refurbishment of the existing Victorian buildings to create an exclusive selection of one and two-bedroom apartments for sale in Colchester, as well as a superb choice of brand new two, three and four-bedroom houses.

Details and prices of the new houses and flats for sale in Colchester are being kept under wraps until the development is officially launched this autumn, but those interested can be among the first to find out about first release of properties by registering their interest today.

Michael O’Leary, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey, says: “We’re incredibly excited about unveiling this unique new development, which will see the thoughtful renovation of the lovely Victorian buildings at this historic site – combining the traditional appeal of a period property with all the convenience and quality buyers expect from an upmarket contemporary apartment.

“The design of the brand new houses will also reflect traditional architectural features while a selection of beautiful mature trees will be retained for the new residents to enjoy.

“We expect these gorgeous homes to be hugely popular, so I would urge discerning buyers to give themselves the best chance of finding their ideal match by registering their interest in Praecedo as soon as they can.”

Praecedo’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.

Within easy reach of the beautiful rural Essex landscape, which inspired old masters from Constable to Gainsborough, Colchester is also handy for the great British seaside, as the coast at wonderful West Mersea is just 10 miles away.

Commuters will appreciate good rail and road links to Chelmsford, Brentwood and London – with regular train services to London Liverpool Street in under an hour – and to Ipswich, Bury St Edmunds, Cambridge and the Midlands. The M11 and Stansted Airport are easily accessible via the new A120.
