Why move to a new build house in Colchester?

Colchester welcomes millions of visitors every year, and with good reason. The city centre offers a heritage or cultural site on virtually every corner, making it great for exploring on weekends. As a modern city, though, it also offers everything that you need for everyday life, with great schools nearby and excellent travel links out to London and beyond.

Activities

Colchester's two-millennia-plus heritage makes it a treasure trove for fans of history. Even if you're just looking for a day out for the family, places like the city's Roman ruins and medieval buildings are a good place to start. There's also more organised history and culture available at Colchester Castle Museum and Firstsite Art Gallery. Of course, it would be impossible to talk about Colchester's attractions without also mentioning the famous Colchester Zoo.

The city's food-and-drink scene is an enticing one, with Colchester known for its local produce – in particular, oysters. Rural Colchester also boasts multiple vineyards, local breweries and numerous beer festivals throughout the year.

Head out of the city to the surrounding area and you'll find plenty of scenic walks and cycling routes available to you, including the fields of Constable County and the Essex coastline at Mersea Island.

Education

Plenty of Ofsted-rated 'Good' and 'Outstanding' schools are available in the city's immediate catchment area, catering to primary, secondary and further education levels as well as special schools for specific needs.

Travel

The capital is also easily visited by train from Colchester station, with regular services heading out to the likes of London Liverpool Street and Norwich on a daily basis.
