Highwoods (CO4) is a purpose-built community of family homes developed in the 1980s and 1990s, set around green space, a golf course and a country park to the north of Colchester town centre. It is one of Colchester's most popular family areas, blending modern estates with plenty of green space.
The area's appeal is the combination of affordable family homes, good local amenities including a shopping centre and schools, and quick access to the A12 and the mainline station. It is a perennial favourite with families priced out of the town centre but wanting modern homes and green space.
Property here is generally mainstream modern construction, so most high-street lenders are comfortable lending on Highwoods homes. Some of the earlier phases include leasehold houses with nominal ground rents — we will check the details and match you to a lender who takes a sensible view.
