Colchester is only a 50 minute train journey to London Liverpool Street and is becoming a town that commuters target. Life in the city is too expensive for many, putting too much of a strain on their ‘downtime’. Colchester is a perfect town to reside in for those who desire a short commute to work, and to be able to visit rural, seaside places at the weekend. It is also very close to London Stansted airport, as well as London Southend airport. As a result of this, the Colchester property market is booming.
More couples and young families are looking to move in and around Colchester because of the links into London, the accessibility to quaint, seaside towns and also because of the quality of schools. We have put together a list of the top primary and secondary schools in the area as a helpful guide for you. Palmer and Partners have a number of houses for sale in Colchester and also lettings.
