Summary - 45 WHARF ROAD CHELMSFORD CM2 6FS
2 bed 2 bath Flat
Two double bedrooms, allocated parking and canal views — ideal for first-time buyers or investors..
First-floor waterside apartment with direct canal views
Set on the first floor with direct canal outlook, this two-double-bedroom apartment offers practical waterside living close to Chelmsford city centre. The open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner benefits from Juliet balconies that bring in light and views, while both bedrooms are generous doubles with an en suite to the principal. Allocated off-street parking and a long lease provide immediate convenience and ownership certainty.
The building is contemporary and purpose-built with a modern fitted kitchen and electric boiler with radiators. Service charge and ground rent are modest for the area, and the remaining lease term (around 115–116 years) supports standard mortgage options. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, making the flat suitable for home working or commuting to London via the fast mainline service.
Buyers should note several material considerations: the property is leasehold (ground rent £380 pa; service charge c. £1,200 pa) and sits in an area recorded as having very high crime levels. There is a medium flood risk due to proximity to the canal, and heating runs on electricity via a boiler — prospective buyers should budget for running costs and consider a detailed survey regarding services and flood mitigation.
This apartment will suit first-time buyers seeking a manageable, scenic home or investors wanting a city-centre waterside asset. It offers low immediate maintenance, potential for rental demand, and easy access to local schools, shops and transport links — traded against the need to manage leasehold costs, insurance and local safety and flood factors.
