Designed with modern living in mind and surrounded by open green space, you can choose from a range of one, two, three and four-bedroom homes. With excellent transport links, local schools and everything you need close by, this new development ticks all the right boxes for families, commuters and first-time buyers alike.
A new home at Birchwood Rise means a fresh start in a well-connected community. Surrounded by a mature tree border, you’ll have plenty of space inside and out, energy-efficient features and quality finishes throughout – all set along peaceful tree-lined roads that offer a quieter pace of life just outside the city.
You’ll find everyday essentials within easy reach, with Stane Retail Park 0.8 miles away and the Tollgate Centre just over a mile from home. Colchester town centre is 4.7 miles away for shops, restaurants and entertainment, and both Lexden Hospital and Colchester General Hospital are close by too.
