About
Palmer and Partners are thrilled to offer for let, this stunning and unique two bedroom apartment.
This apartment is part of an exclusive new development; a unique 1860’s warehouse conversion which combines a range of varied and original industrial features with a modern and contemporary design.
Sand blasted exposed bricks and imposing structural columns combine with an ultra-modern finish and fully integrated Bosh Appliances, stone composite flooring and a digital entry system.
Developed in a “New York Loft” style, these properties offer elevated ceilings giving a great sense of space and air throughout.
The original exposed wooden beams and unique, oversized and sympathetically preserved warehouse windows offer a contrast of old and new against the sleek integrated kitchen and bathroom.
The Maponite building is located on Hawkins Road which offers easy access to Colchester Hythe Train Station, with its direct links to London Liverpool Street, as well as being within easy reach of Essex University and a range of local amenities including gyms, superstores and restaurants.
Each apartment in the building is provided with 1 parking space in the secure parking facility located under the building.
All apartments are offered unfurnished and exclusive of utilities and council tax.
This apartment comprises a large, open-plan kitchen and living space with original exposed beams running across the elevated ceiling and black iron columns to separate the kitchen space from the living and entertaining space.
The Property features large windows that flood the space with natural light. The kitchen is furnished with high end modern Bosch appliances throughout and plenty of storage.
