Built by William D Crabb & Son in 1967, The Newlands Estate is a mixture of Semi-detached Houses & blocks of Maisonettes.

The Maisonettes come in blocks of four, two upstairs and two dowbntairs, all with gardens and a garage in a near-by block.

The main advatage of these maisonettes is there is no service charge, the only set fee to pay is the Ground Rent to the Freeholders - the Freeholders now being the Hobdays from Colchester.
