Quietly tucked in Gilson Close, this ground-floor two-bedroom maisonette offers a straightforward entry into Chelmsford living. The open-plan lounge/kitchen creates a light, practical social space ideal for first-time buyers or investors seeking a low-maintenance home ready for immediate occupation. The large communal lawns and one allocated parking space add outdoor and parking convenience without private garden upkeep.
Practicalities are clear: the property is leasehold with an exceptionally long 966-year term, an EPC rating of C, and electric storage heating throughout. The compact internal area (approximately 536 sq ft) suits buyers looking for modest running costs and simple living, though room sizes are modest and Bedroom Two is notably small. Photographs are library images — buyers should view to confirm condition and proportions.
Material points to note: heating is electric storage heaters, not mains gas; this affects running costs for some households. Crime in the immediate area is above average, which may concern some buyers. Maintenance charges apply (details available on request). There is no onward chain, which can speed completion for motivated purchasers.
Overall this maisonette represents a practical, well-located option close to Chelmsford city centre and local amenities. It will appeal to buyers prioritising location, low external maintenance and a long lease, while those needing larger rooms, a private garden or gas central heating should consider the limitations.
