This one-bedroom flat in Galleywood offers a straightforward entry into Chelmsford property ownership. The lease has recently been extended to around 179 years and service charges are low, so running costs are favourable for a first-time buyer or investor. A large walk-in cupboard adds rare internal storage for a property of this size.
The accommodation requires a degree of updating and redecoration; finishes and fixtures are dated and the property is heated by electric storage heaters. At about 386 sq ft, the flat is compact and best suited to single occupancy, couples or buy-to-let. These shortcomings are reflected in the price and create scope to add value with modest renovation.
Externally there are communal grounds and off-street parking. Local bus routes, shops and several well-rated schools are close by, and Chelmsford city centre and train station are an easy drive. Offered chain free, the flat is a practical, low-cost purchase for someone seeking a manageable home or an investment with straightforward ownership terms.
