Guide Price £280,000–£290,000. This compact Victorian mid-terrace offers a practical first home close to Chelmsford city centre and mainline rail links. The house combines period character — including a feature fireplace and wood flooring — with sensible modern updates such as a ground-floor bathroom and double glazing (install date unknown).
The ground floor has an open-plan living and dining area flowing to a galley kitchen with good worktop and storage. Upstairs are two well-proportioned bedrooms; the main bedroom accommodates wardrobes and the second room works well as a nursery, guest room or home office. Outside there’s an enclosed, low-maintenance rear garden and a useful off-street parking space to the front.
Practical benefits include freehold tenure, mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, and fast broadband with excellent mobile signal — helpful for commuting or working from home. The property is just 1.3 miles from Chelmsford mainline station and within walking distance of local shops, buses and schools.
Buyers should note the home is small (approx. 485 sq ft) and sits on a compact plot, so storage and living space are limited. The brick walls are original solid construction and may lack modern cavity insulation (assumed), so further insulation or energy-efficiency upgrades could be needed. The wider area scores as more deprived with higher local crime levels; prospective buyers should consider local amenity and safety factors as part of their decision.
