Summary - OLD COURT HOUSE 7 CHAPEL HILL STANSTED CM24 8AE
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Compact period flat with parking and long lease, ideal for first-time buyers or investors.
Chain-free first-floor one-bedroom maisonette
Set within a landmark mid-19th century building, this first-floor one‑bedroom maisonette is aimed squarely at first‑time buyers or buy‑to‑let purchasers seeking a compact, low‑maintenance home in Stansted Mountfitchet. The flat offers a reception room, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom, plus residents’ off‑street parking and a share of the freehold — and it is offered chain‑free. A potential rental figure of around £875 pcm points to immediate income potential for investors.
The property’s positives include long leasehold security (898 years remaining), an established town‑centre location close to schools, amenities and the station, and the attractive classical exterior of The Old Court House. Practical running costs are clear: council tax band B is inexpensive, but the annual service charge is approximately £1,500 and heating is provided by electric storage heaters.
Buyers should note the apartment is small (approx. 341 sq ft) and suited to single occupancy or couples. The EPC rating is D and the building’s solid brick construction suggests limited wall insulation without retrofit, which may affect energy costs. There is no ground rent, and each apartment holds an equal share of the freehold, but lease and service charge details should be checked by your solicitor.
Overall this maisonette works well as an affordable entry point to the local market or a straightforward rental unit. It offers period charm externally and a practical, compact layout internally, with clear scope for modest modernisation to improve comfort and energy efficiency.
