Summary - Flat 8, Walter House, 31, Rainsford Road, CHELMSFORD CM1 2XJ
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
South east balcony, communal facilities and easy rail access.
South‑east facing walk‑out balcony with urban views
This bright, south‑east facing one-bedroom apartment sits on the first floor of a McCarthy Stone retirement development, built in 2020. A sheltered walk-out balcony and generous living/dining space make it easy to relax or entertain, while a modern kitchen and accessible shower room suit everyday living.
Residents benefit from on-site support and communal amenities: a House Manager, 24-hour emergency call system, camera entry, guest suite and a communal ‘sky’ lounge. The building is pet friendly and lies about 0.3 miles from Chelmsford station, with fast trains to London.
Be aware the property carries an above-average annual service charge of £4,659.24 and an annual ground rent of £425. Heating is provided via a community scheme and some costs sit within the service charge. The wider area records above-average crime, which should be considered alongside the development’s security features.
The long lease (999 years from 2021) provides ownership certainty, and offered part-exchange and entitlements advice can ease a move. This apartment will suit someone seeking a low-maintenance, sociable retirement setting close to city amenities and transport links.
