Castellum Grange is our exciting new development situated in the heart of the historic town of Colchester. With a wide range of two-bedroom apartments and two, three and four-bedroom homes available, there`s something for everyone.
Colchester is a thriving town offering excellent local amenities along with its very own castle, and Roman ruins going back even further. You`ll be able to benefit from excellent transport links and plenty of green open spaces. Colchester is halfway between Chelmsford and Ipswich on the A12, one of the main routes through Essex. It`s also well-connected to Harwich and Braintree so if you need to commute, your new home here puts you in a great location. Essex has some lovely countryside, and the Dedham Vale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is just to the north. The coastline is fun to explore too, with family-friendly resorts within easy reach for a day out.
