The Area

A platform for the very best in new home living

Choose from just six, 3 bedroom semi-detached houses and eighteen, 2 bedroom apartments located within a green landscaped setting. All the homes are in a well planned configuration designed to offer a sense of open space so you’ll never feel imposed upon by large blocks of brick and tile. Enjoy ‘outdoor space’, whether in your own garden, the communal gardens or from an apartment balcony. Inside, be uplifted by the infusion of natural light, white finishes and contemporary fittings.

Thoughtful layouts & stylish fittings

It’s the details that distinguish The Forum - such as the sleek glass splashback and under unit lighting in the Urban Myth designer kitchen, and satin chrome door ironmongery. The specification includes generous provison of stainless steel kitchen appliances, a fitted wardrobe to the master bedroom, and plenty of power points for communications and home entertainment.

The apartments share a communal terrestrial television aerial and satellite system (decoder required). Naturally, the communal areas are bright, light, carpeted and also include an audio entry system. And because for Higgins Homes everything has to be proven as well as stylish, we’ve opted for gas central heating by radiator, and of course, PVCu double glazed windows.

Colchester a seriously good choice

Living at The Forum means proximity to a wealth of activities and entertainment. Lovers of the arts have a choice of three theatres – The Mercury, Headgate and Lakeside – as well as Charter Hall for concerts, comedy and exhibitions. Also under construction is a Visual Arts Facility, which will house important exhibits, shops and a café. With numerous bars, restaurants and nightclubs around town Colchester really does cater for every taste.

Colchester’s shopping experience offers so much to the dedicated shopper. Numerous independents including an award-winning department store co-exist beside multiples that include M&S, Debenhams, Monsoon and Next. With a traditional market coming to town twice a week you’ll be spoilt for choice.

The Forum is also perfect for sports and leisure enthusiasts, with facilities such as Leisure World, Aqua Springs spa for adults and Megabowl. Gokarting, roller-skating, golf, bowls and squash are all available locally. There are also several members-only health and leisure centres in the area. Opening shortly is a Community Stadium that will be home to the town’s football club.
