This chain-free ground-floor maisonette offers an affordable entry into Chelmsford within easy reach of the city centre and train station. The one double bedroom with bay window, open-plan kitchen/reception and private rear garden suit a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor seeking a compact home with rental potential.
The flat is offered with 89 years remaining on the lease and a low ground rent (£10). At 437 sq ft the accommodation is small but practical; a garage and private garden add useful external space not always found at this price point. Travel is straightforward — Chelmsford station is about 0.9 miles on foot with typical trains to London Liverpool Street in around 35 minutes.
The property does show its age in places: the kitchen dates from the 1980s and would benefit from modernization, and the build likely has cavity walls without added insulation (assumed). Crime levels in the area are recorded as high, which buyers should factor into security and insurance costs. Council tax is very cheap, which helps running costs.
Nearby schools include several rated Good and two Outstanding secondary schools, making the location suitable for those prioritising education. Overall this maisonette represents an affordable, low-entry option with clear scope for improvement and rental or owner-occupier use; an early internal inspection is recommended to assess refurbishment needs and layout suitability.
