Set within a modern development on the edge of Chelmsford, this two-bedroom second-floor apartment offers a straightforward, low‑maintenance home ideal for first-time buyers or commuters. The layout centres on an open-plan lounge/kitchen with a Juliet balcony, while the principal bedroom benefits from an en-suite. Allocated carport parking and secure entry add practical convenience.
The property is offered chain-free, with approximately 107 years remaining on the lease, making it a relatively simple purchase route. It sits about a mile from Chelmsford station, giving reliable rail links to London, and local shops and bus routes are within easy reach. The building dates from the early 2000s and has double glazing throughout.
There are some important practical considerations: heating is by electric room heaters rather than gas central heating, and the service charge and ground rent are notable ongoing costs (approx. £2,100 and £391 respectively). The area scores as higher-crime and more deprived than average, which some buyers will want to factor into budgeting and security decisions.
Overall this is a compact, well-presented apartment that suits buyers seeking a commuter-friendly, low-upkeep home. It presents immediate move-in potential but also calls for awareness of running costs, the leasehold status and local area factors when weighing long-term plans.
