CM1 1PU
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Contemporary city living steps from trains and shops.
Third-floor flat with lift access and private balcony
A bright, well-presented one-bedroom apartment on the third floor with lift access, offering straightforward city-centre living. The open-plan living and dining area flows into a modern fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, and a private balcony extends the living space for morning coffee or evening downtime. The double bedroom includes built-in wardrobes, and the property measures around 550 sq ft — comfortable for a professional or couple.
Practical running costs are clear: EPC B, leasehold tenure and an annual service charge of about £1,062. The block has secure entry and ample internal storage, but buyers should note the property is leasehold and factor service charges into ongoing costs. The building insurance figure is recorded separately (£158 latest payment).
Location is a major strength — central Chelmsford puts shops, parks, leisure facilities and mainline rail links within easy reach. The station offers direct trains to London in around 35 minutes, and nearby A12/A414 routes connect to the wider road network. Local schools and sports facilities are close by, making the flat suitable for professionals and investors seeking strong rental demand.
A material local consideration is the area’s very high recorded crime level. Prospective purchasers should investigate security measures and local crime trends and factor any additional security or insurance costs into their plans. Overall this is a convenient, modern apartment that suits first-time buyers, commuters or buy-to-let investors aware of the tenure and local context.
