Summary - 91 High Street, Chelmsford, Essex, CM1 CM1 1DX
5 bed 3 bath Block of Apartments
Central Chelmsford block with commuting links and redevelopment potential.
- Freehold mixed-use block of five flats and two retail units
A substantial freehold block on Chelmsford High Street, offered at auction as Lot 205. The building extends to approximately 3,735 sq ft GIA and currently comprises two retail units (both under commercial leases), two two-bedroom maisonettes and one self-contained one-bedroom flat. Accommodation is arranged over three storeys in a largely Georgian red-brick building with high ceilings and prominent shopfronts.
The property sits 0.3 miles (about six minutes’ walk) from Chelmsford station, giving direct commuter links to London Liverpool Street. There is clear scope for reconfiguring the residential units to alter unit mix or improve rental income, subject to planning and building regulation consents. One maisonette is currently vacant; the remaining residential units are let on assured shorthold tenancies, which may suit immediate rental income strategies.
Important considerations: this is an auction sale, so the purchaser must complete under auction conditions and conduct their own due diligence. The site’s recorded crime level is very high for the local area, which could affect lettings, insurance costs and tenant profiles. Any redevelopment or modernisation will require consents and likely investment to upgrade services and interiors.
For an investor seeking a central Chelmsford holding with commuter appeal and redevelopment potential, this lot offers scale and flexibility. For owner-occupiers or occupiers seeking low-risk residential living, the mixed-use location and city-centre crime profile are material factors to weigh before bidding.
