Set on a quiet cul-de-sac in desirable Victoria Crescent, this freehold two-bedroom terrace offers an easy, chain-free purchase just a short walk from Chelmsford city centre and the mainline station. The layout includes a front lounge, separate dining room, fitted kitchen and rear utility, with two bedrooms and a family bathroom on the first floor. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal suit modern working-from-home needs.
The property is compact but well located for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking a central base with immediate rental or living potential. The small front and enclosed rear gardens are low-maintenance and practical for outdoor sitting or container planting. Street permit parking is available for residents.
Constructed before 1900 with solid brick walls, the house appears to need cosmetic updating and possible thermal improvement (no recorded wall insulation). Rooms are modest in size and the overall plot is small, so buyers should expect limited footprint and storage compared with larger family homes. Crime levels in the area are above average; purchasers may wish to consider security and insurance implications.
With no onward chain and an affordable council tax band, this home can suit buyers looking for a swift move-in or a straightforward refurbishment project to add value. The proximity to excellent schools, local amenities and public transport makes the location a genuine strength; the property itself is best described as a compact urban terrace with practical potential rather than a turnkey family home.
