Colchester Park project overview: what kind of homes are here?
Colchester Park is part of the established landed enclave around Colchester Grove, Cardiff Grove, and Hemsley Avenue in the Serangoon Garden/Braddell Heights area of D19.
Unlike a typical Singapore condo with a single strata title, Colchester Park comprises individual landed titles – mainly 2.5 or 3‑storey terrace and corner-terrace houses, with some larger detached or semi‑detached homes along nearby streets.
From on‑ground transactions and URA caveats in recent years, most Colchester Park houses are freehold or 999-year leasehold (depending on exact plot), which is common in the Serangoon Garden landed belt, though buyers should always verify tenure lot‑by‑lot via Inlis or URA records before committing.
Because these are landed homes, there is no official stratum unit count like a private condo; instead, each address (e.g. 41 Colchester Grove) represents a standalone property.
Typical Colchester Park unit types & floor plan patterns
There is no single developer-issued brochure for Colchester Park like a new launch, but after years of walking these streets, visiting listings, and speaking with Serangoon Garden agents and residents, the floor plans generally fall into a few familiar patterns.
1. Intermediate terrace houses
Typical profile
- Land size: around 1,600–1,800 sq ft (approximate)
- Built‑up: usually 2,400–3,000+ sq ft after A&A or reconstruction
- Storeys: 2.5 or 3 storeys
- Bedrooms: 3–5 bedrooms, often with 1 helper’s/utility room
- Ground floor: Car porch for 1 car, small setback/planter, living and dining in one continuous space, common bathroom, rear kitchen and yard, sometimes a granny room or helper’s room.
- Second floor: 2–3 bedrooms, usually 1 en‑suite master plus 1 shared bathroom.
- Attic/half-floor (where present): Additional bedroom or family room with roof terrace.
2. Corner terraces and bigger plots
Typical profile
- Land size: roughly 2,200–3,000+ sq ft
- Built‑up: 3,000–4,000+ sq ft, depending on age and whether rebuilt
- Frontage: wider car porch, often 2-car parking side‑by‑side
- Side garden or wraparound outdoor space, sometimes converted into a patio with sliding doors from living/dining.
- Larger dry + wet kitchen configuration, popular with families who cook often or entertain during gatherings.
- More flexibility for additional bedrooms or a proper home office, especially after modern reconstruction.
3. Rebuilt or A&A modern layouts
Over the last decade, many owners in Serangoon and Hougang have done A&A (Addition & Alteration) or full rebuilds, and Colchester Park is no exception.
Modernized houses here often feature:
- Open‑plan living/dining with large-format tiles, full-height windows, and minimal structural walls for flexible furniture layouts.
- Dry kitchen island with built‑in cabinetry and back wet kitchen for heavier Asian cooking.
- 4–6 good-sized bedrooms, almost all en‑suite, to maximize liveability and rental income potential.
- Dedicated helper’s room with proper ventilation instead of windowless storerooms.
- Provision for home lift in some rebuilt units, very helpful for ageing parents or long-term own-stay planning.
Where available, ask the seller’s agent or your Homejourney consultant for updated floor plans, especially if you are comparing an older original build vs. a rebuilt unit.
Smart home & interior features: what buyers can expect
As Colchester Park is an older landed enclave, smart-home features are not standard by design; they depend entirely on individual owners’ renovations.
From recent inspections and listings in the wider Serangoon Garden/Braddell Heights belt, common upgrades include:
- Digital door locks and video doorbells for added security.
- Wi-Fi enabled air‑conditioning and lighting systems, especially in fully renovated units.
- Concealed wiring for fibre and mesh Wi-Fi to support work‑from‑home setups.
If smart features matter to you, make them a clear requirement during your Homejourney property search via Property Search , or budget for upgrades after purchase. Homejourney’s vetted home services network – including Aircon Services for regular aircon servicing – can be useful during your first year of ownership.
Facilities inside Colchester Park vs condo facilities
Because Colchester Park is a cluster of individual landed houses, it does not offer the typical Singapore condo facilities like a shared swimming pool, gym, clubhouse, or function rooms within a gated compound.
Instead, the “facilities experience” here is more about private space and neighbourhood amenities:
- Private car porch (1–2 cars depending on plot width).
- Outdoor terrace, garden, or patio for BBQs and gatherings.
- Roof terrace or balcony in reconstructed units.
- Public parks, playgrounds, and sports facilities within short walking or driving distance.
For buyers torn between a Serangoon condo vs. landed at Colchester Park, it comes down to trade‑offs: you get more internal and land space, but must accept the absence of shared condo-style facilities and take more responsibility for your own home maintenance and safety systems.
Security, safety & parking: what to look out for
Homejourney places user safety at the centre of every property journey, and for landed homes like Colchester Park there are a few practical checks to prioritize.
Everyday security for landed homes
Unlike gated condos with 24‑hour guardhouses, security at Colchester Park is largely owner‑managed.
When viewing houses in Colchester Grove, consider:
- Quality of the main gate and door system – solid timber/steel door, auto-gate, digital lock, and video intercom.
- Window grilles, especially for ground‑floor and back-of-house windows.
- Perimeter lighting and CCTV coverage for entrances and car porch.
- Neighbourhood feel – most residents here treat it as a long-term home, which generally supports a close-knit and watchful community.
For families with young children or elderly parents, also check staircase design (presence of railings, step width) and whether there is an option to install a home lift or stairlift in future.
Parking and car access
Most Colchester Park houses provide at least one sheltered car park space within the compound, with additional roadside parking along Colchester Grove and surrounding streets subject to URA/LTA regulations.
Because Serangoon Garden is a popular F&B and lifestyle node, on‑street parking can get busy during peak dining hours near the main roundabout, but Colchester Grove itself is typically calmer and more residential.
Location, accessibility & nearby amenities
Address & district
Colchester Park sits along Colchester Grove in District 19, part of the Serangoon / Hougang planning area. It benefits from the mature amenities of Serangoon Garden, yet remains a quieter residential pocket.
Transport and connectivity
MRT
The nearest MRT stations are typically:
- Lorong Chuan (CC14) on the Circle Line – a short drive or bus ride.
- Serangoon (CC13/NE12) – an interchange connecting to the North-East and Circle Lines.
From Serangoon, travel time to the CBD/Raffles Place is around 20–25 minutes by train in typical conditions.
Bus services
Several bus services from Serangoon Garden Way and Yio Chu Kang Road link to Serangoon MRT, Ang Mo Kio, Hougang, and central areas. Check the latest LTA/TransitLink info for updates, as bus routes can change over time.
Expressways
Drivers are reasonably close to CTE and PIE, providing direct routes to Orchard, the CBD, and other parts of the island. Depending on traffic, a drive to the CBD might take around 20–25 minutes.
Daily amenities around Colchester Grove
Food & groceries
Residents typically rely on the Serangoon Garden and surrounding belt for daily essentials, including:
- Chomp Chomp Food Centre and Serangoon Garden Market & Food Centre – popular for local hawker fare.
- Neighbourhood coffee shops and eateries along Serangoon Garden Way.
- Supermarkets and minimarts in the Serangoon Garden and Lorong Chuan vicinity.
Schools
The D19 landed belt is popular with families due to access to well-regarded schools within reasonable driving distance, including primary, secondary, and international options (always confirm exact distances and MOE priority rules based on your address and year of registration).
Parks & recreation
Colchester Grove is near several park connectors and green pockets in the wider Serangoon/Hougang area. NParks’ Colchester Grove Interim Open Space serves as a nearby green amenity, with improvement works scheduled to complete by July 2026 according to NParks’ latest update.[5]
For sports and recreation, residents may use nearby community clubs, public swimming complexes, and fitness parks across Serangoon and Hougang.
Price & rental context for Colchester Park homes
Because Colchester Park comprises individual landed titles instead of condo units, pricing is influenced by land size, built-up area, tenure, and renovation quality rather than a single PSF range.
As of 2026, freehold/999‑year landed homes in the Serangoon Garden/Braddell Heights corridor have generally seen steady price growth in URA caveats over the past decade, reflecting strong owner‑occupier demand and limited new landed supply in D19.

How to evaluate a specific Colchester Park floor plan
Because each house in Colchester Park can have a slightly different layout, here is a simple checklist to use during viewings.
1. Space planning & future flexibility
- Is there at least one bedroom or proper room on the ground floor for elderly parents or future-proofing?
- Can the living and dining spaces comfortably fit your furniture and still allow good circulation?
- Is there a dedicated study or room that can be converted into a home office or guest room?
- Are structural walls limiting potential reconfiguration if your family size changes?
2. Light, ventilation & privacy
- Check for windows on multiple sides in corner terraces – a key advantage over intermediate terraces.
- Note whether bedrooms face neighbours at very close distances, which can impact privacy and noise.
- Observe natural lighting at different times if possible – east/west sun can affect heat and air‑con bills.
3. Practical kitchen & service areas
- Is the kitchen large enough for your cooking habits – heavy Asian cooking vs light reheating?
