Colchester’s Dutch Quarter is one of my favourite parts of my adopted hometown. The quaint little buildings, nestled amongst the tiny and twisting streets of the North Hill; the vast expanse of castle park to the east - if it wasn’t for the fact that there’s not much room for car parking, I think I’d love to live here.
When my wife and I were looking to buy round here, we studied some of the Dutch Quarter properties online - we were struck by the beauty of the period features: the fireplaces and chimney stacks, the outer stylings.
But the needs of a modern family perhaps exceeded the pitfalls of these older homes in this part of Colchester - the need for ample parking, room for expansion for a growing brood, et cetera.
But one day… you never know.
