Colchester's cheapest property for sale is £70k flat on Zoopla

With that in mind, you might wonder what the cheapest property up for sale in the county is, excluding options such as a retirement home or shared ownership.

If you're looking for a property on the lower end of the price scale in the Colchester area, then Zoopla may have an option for you.

A one-bedroom flat in South Street, described as an "investment opportunity", is listed for £70,000.

On its Zoopla profile, it says: "Palmer & Partners are pleased to offer to the market this one bedroom, top floor studio apartment, located within a short walk from Colchester's City Centre, which offers an abundance of leisure facilities, bars, restaurants, local and high street shops and good access to local schools."

You can enter the flat through some stairs after going through a communal entrance hall.

The property itself is very simple with it being mainly an open-plan space with a shower room.

The main part of the space is a lounge area, with the sofa being able to be converted into a bed.

This area is shown to be carpeted in the images on the Zoopla profile, with there also being a TV, small chair, cupboard and radiator.

Finally, in the shower room, there is a good-sized shower cubicle, toilet, sink and a wall-mounted electric heater.

Externally, there is a resident permit parking scheme available, and the flat is within walking distance of the Colchester Town train station.

The profile adds: "Palmer & Partners would recommend an early internal viewing to avoid disappointment".
