Chain-free 3-bed first-floor maisonette with private garden — refurbishment opportunity close to Chelmsford centre..
Chain-free three-bedroom first-floor maisonette
A three-bedroom first-floor maisonette offering a practical city-centre base with genuine scope to add value. The property is chain-free and sits on a long lease (159 years), making it suitable for a first-time buyer or investor ready to renovate. The layout is traditional with a separate kitchen, living room and three bedrooms across approximately 639 sq ft.
The property requires full refurbishment throughout and there is a known roof/garage roof issue being dealt with by the freehold/management company; the home is sold as seen. Expect costs for general updating, cosmetic repairs and possible structural attention to the dated staircase and external garage roof.
Outside, a private rear garden and off-street parking are useful extras in this central Chelmsford location. Local amenities, fast broadband and direct rail links to London make this a convenient base for commuters. Note practical considerations: medium flood risk in the area and a very high local crime rate, plus ground rent of £250 per year.
This is a value-driven purchase for someone prepared to invest time and money to modernise. A viewing is strongly recommended to assess condition and renovation potential in person.
