Set on the first floor of a mid‑20th century terrace, this two double bedroom maisonette puts city‑centre living within easy reach. The generous lounge and bedrooms offer comfortable, flexible space for a first home or a rental conversion, while an allocated rear garden gives a rare outdoor area in central Chelmsford.
The property is offered with no onward chain and a long lease (111 years remaining), making it straightforward for buyers to proceed. Essential systems are in place — mains gas heating with a boiler and radiators, double glazing — but the interior needs renovation and modernization, which is reflected in the asking price.
Practical details include permit on‑street parking, a modest service charge of £535, and a separate WC plus bathroom. Nearby amenities, frequent public transport, and highly regarded secondary schools mean the location will suit commuters and families aiming for good school options.
This maisonette is best for buyers wanting a central base they can tailor or investors seeking a city rental opportunity. Be aware of the renovation requirements and the above‑average local crime rate when weighing refurbishment costs and returns.
