EAP Prop­er­ty Ser­vices Group have been estab­lished for over 30 years. We have estab­lished our­selves as a lead­ing con­sul­tan­cy of Struc­tur­al and Civ­il Engi­neers, Archi­tec­tur­al Design­ers, Sur­vey­ors and Geot­ech­ni­cal Engineers.

We have offices in both Cam­bridge and Colch­ester and we are made up of a ded­i­cat­ed team of peo­ple who have years of expe­ri­ence in the prop­er­ty sector.

Spe­cial­is­ing in good sec­ond-hand and rare lit­er­a­ture, art, his­to­ry, phi­los­o­phy, sci­ence and local inter­est titles, the Colch­ester Book­shop occu­pies three floors of one of the town cen­tre’s most recog­nis­able build­ings: the arch­way lead­ing to Tymperleys.

Drop in for a browse, be amazed by our quirky rooms and stair­cas­es, and won­der at the sur­viv­ing medieval hall roof of the Colch­ester home of William Gilberd (1544−1603), physi­cian to Eliz­a­beth I and one of the world’s great­est ear­ly scientists.

Enjoy a Pan-Pacif­ic inspired menu in the heart of Colch­ester town cen­tre. Designed around the geo­graph­ic and culi­nary fusions of the west­ern shores of North and South Amer­i­ca, the Poly­ne­sian islands and the shared kin­ship with east­ern Asia and Aus­tralia. The result is a mêlée of fresh, colour­ful and com­plex dish­es ide­al for small plate shar­ing or sim­ply to devour alone, for the ulti­mate vibrant din­ing experience.

Our cus­tomers can look for­ward to the finest taste expe­ri­ence, in a cosy and inti­mate envi­ron­ment. Those look­ing for peace and qui­et away from home or the office can relax and linger in an arm­chair and escape into a book, whilst those look­ing for an inti­mate place to meet friends can hud­dle on a sofa and chat over a mug of cof­fee. Soft light­ing and back­ground music make the expe­ri­ence complete.

We also host a youth dra­ma skills group who per­form twice a year in the the­atre, and an over 55’s group, Act V.
