1 bed 1 bath Apartment
First-floor one-bedroom retirement apartment, newly redecorated
This newly redecorated one-bedroom apartment on the first floor of Spalding Court offers low-maintenance retirement living close to Chelmsford town centre. The development, built by McCarthy & Stone, includes a lift, resident Development Manager, 24-hour emergency call system and communal facilities such as a residents’ lounge, guest suite and laundry — practical features for independent older residents.
The apartment is attractively positioned for everyday convenience: the main shopping centre, bus and train stations and a local park are within easy walking distance. The flat benefits from double glazing and neutral décor throughout, providing a comfortable, ready-to-move-in home for those downsizing from larger properties.
Buyers should note the financial and building specifics clearly: this is a leasehold retirement property with 98 years remaining, a service charge of £4,200.54 per year and a ground rent of £679.59. Heating is via electric storage heaters and the main fuel is electricity, which can mean higher running costs compared with gas-heated homes. Crime levels in the area are reported as above average.
Overall this apartment suits an over-60 buyer seeking convenience, on-site support and a recently refreshed home close to transport and shops. It offers peace of mind through on-site staffing and alarm systems, but factor in the service charge, ground rent and electric heating when assessing ongoing costs.
