A rare opportunity to acquire the largest apartment within Lieutenant House, a striking conversion of the former Edwardian Officers' Mess at Colchester's historic Meeanee Barracks.

Perfectly positioned, this remarkable property enjoys attractive views across open green spaces while being just a short stroll from Colchester's vibrant and historic city centre.

Sympathetically restored, this standout home boasts a stunning vaulted ceiling crowned by an impressive sky lantern, flooding the open-plan living, dining, and kitchen space with natural light, creating an uplifting environment perfect for both relaxing and entertaining. Once the prestigious billiards room in the Officers’ Mess, this remarkable space carries a unique sense of history while delivering maintenance-free modern luxury.

The sleek, modern fitted kitchen comes fully equipped with high-spec integrated appliances, delivering both style and everyday convenience. Its open-plan layout creates a natural flow into the living and dining areas, maximising the sense of light and space while allowing plenty of flexibility for entertaining, working from home or relaxing.
