Service charge £1,639pa; ground rent £144.24pa

This top-floor, two-bedroom flat in Chelmer Village is offered chain-free and suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking a compact, well-located home. The apartment totals about 519 sq ft with an open lounge/diner, fitted kitchen, and residents' parking — practical features for everyday living and rental appeal.
Practical costs and constraints are clear: the property uses electric storage heaters (higher running costs than gas), has an EPC rating of D, and carries a service charge of £1,639pa plus a ground rent of £144.24pa. The lease was granted for 125 years from 1 July 1989 (leasehold), so buyers should check remaining term and lender requirements before committing.
Chelmer Village is popular for schools, local shops, and green space beside the River Chelmer; Chelmsford city centre and the mainline station are within easy reach for commuting to London. The building appears well maintained and includes double glazing and communal green areas, but photos were taken before the current tenancy — an internal viewing will be needed to confirm current condition.
Notable negatives to factor into a decision: the flat is small, top-floor access may mean stairs only, heating is electric storage (no central gas), and local crime levels are above average. These elements affect running costs, resale, and rental expectations but are offset by location, parking and strong local schools.
