Colchester: Inside £1.6million Lepra office for sale

The 100-year-old Colchester-based charity Lepra has its office space in Middleborough listed on Rightmove for £1,675,000 freehold.

Lepra was founded in 1924 and works to diagnose, treat and rehabilitate people who have leprosy, an infection that can lead to damage to nerves, skin and eyes.

The charity has been based in Colchester since 1974 and now wants to downsize its office space because more people are working from home following the pandemic.

The property, which is part of the Octagon complex, covers three-stories and has an open plan layout and an internal space of 8,478sq ft.

It also has 25 parking spaces in the adjoining multi-storey car park, a platform lift to the office’s first floor, and is within walking distance of Colchester North Station and the city centre.

Commercial property management and building survey firm, Whybrow, listed the office on Rightmove and also took some brilliant photos displaying the space.
