Rare office opportunity in Colchester’s historic Cavalry Barracks
A unique opportunity has arisen to lease a beautifully restored office within one of Colchester’s most historically significant sites – the former Cavalry Barracks at Colchester Garrison.
Orderly House, located on Dragoon Road, offers 2,891 sq. ft. (268.6 sq. m.) of high-quality, self-contained office space within a characterful detached building. Constructed between 1862 and 1864, this thoughtfully refurbished Victorian property seamlessly blends 19th century architectural charm with 21st century functionality.
Once part of the first permanent barracks built for the garrison, the building’s heritage is commemorated by a blue plaque at the main gate and remains evident in its preserved architectural features.
Located within a fenced and gated site, the property includes 12 on-site parking spaces and retains original features alongside a host of modern amenities. These include LED lighting, high-speed fibre broadband, concealed low-level heating and cooling units, stylish kitchenettes and facilities, and an integrated alarm system. The internal layout features a welcoming reception area, with a meeting room, separate offices and a predominantly open-plan workspace, all finished to an exceptionally high standard.
Edward Nolan MRICS commented “We are delighted to be marketing this local landmark that has been sensitively restored and improved by our clients. It is vitally important that we preserve these historic buildings, and Orderly House has been transformed into a fantastic office space which would be suitable for a variety of businesses.”
Conveniently located just 2 miles from Colchester City Centre and only 3 minutes’ drive from Colchester Town station, the site offers excellent transport links to London and the wider East Anglia region via the A12 and A120.
