A stunning collection of new homes for sale in Colchester has been released for sale to discerning Essex property-seekers at Taylor Wimpey’s Praecedo development.

Quick-off-the-mark property-hunters are being urged to act now if they want to take their pick from the first selection of property for sale in Colchester, Essex, at an exclusive new Taylor Wimpey development.

Praecedo – which means to surpass or excel in Latin, in a nod to the town’s famous Roman heritage – is a collection of high-quality apartments and houses for sale in Colchester, enjoying a well-connected yet peaceful location overlooking the cricket ground in Mersea Road, with the tranquil open space of Abbey Field beyond.

Following the development’s launch at the weekend, an initial selection of impressive two, three and four-bedroom new build homes in Colchester is now on sale, offering a wealth of choice for first-time buyers and downsizers through to professionals and growing families.

The first phase of property for sale in Essex at Praecedo is already proving to be a massive hit with savvy homebuyers, and would-be purchasers are being urged to visit the development as soon as possible to ensure they have the very best chance of securing their pick of the plots.

Michael O’Leary, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey, says: “Visitors to Praecedo have been really impressed with the first selection of Colchester properties now on sale at this unique development.

“These fabulous new homes offer all the convenience and quality buyers expect from an upmarket contemporary home – and when you add our great-value prices to the equation, it’s not hard to understand Praecedo’s popularity with Colchester’s more savvy home-buyers.

“To give themselves the best chance of finding their ideal match, I would urge customers to visit the development as soon as possible to avoid missing out!”

Stylish two-bedroom coach house-style apartments are now on sale at Praecedo from just £144,995, while two-bedroom houses are priced from only £154,995. Alternatively, three and four-bedroom houses are available from as little as £194,995 and £234,995 respectively.

The three-bedroom ‘Harkin’ terraced home, for example, is priced from just £197,995 and features a spacious living/dining room opening through French doors to the private rear garden, a contemporary fitted kitchen and a handy 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 and allocated parking can be found outside.

Like all homes at Praecedo, the ‘Harkin’ is completed to a high standard specification, including energy efficient central heating, double glazing and a fitted kitchen with integrated oven, hob and hood.

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.
