FYI, here in Colchester, there is serious oversupply of apartments (300+ empty). Colchester is ~30 miles (35 - 45 mins) drive from STN.

There is no direct train link to STN from Colchester. There is a regular bus to the terminal from the train station (£10 single, £15 return if memory serves me right, given fuel prices and parking costs - that's not too bad).

A new 2 bed (unfurnished) apartment will set you back ~£600pcm after haggling. Given thats with allocated parking and is within walking distance to the train station (we are <1 hour from London) that's not too bad. Older, grottier and further away = cheaper.

Do a google search for letting agents. PM me if you wish to know of one others have told me to avoid.
