Summary - 8 WEST LAWN CHELMSFORD CM2 8SJ
1 bed 1 bath Maisonette
Compact, secure home near Chelmsford ideal for first-time buyers or investors.
One-bedroom first-floor maisonette with private garden
This well-presented one-bedroom first-floor maisonette offers an efficient open-plan layout and private garden in the popular Galleywood area, only a short drive from Chelmsford city centre. The bright living-dining room flows into a modern fitted kitchen, while a generous double bedroom with fitted wardrobes and a bathroom with a shower-over-bath complete the accommodation. At about 442 sq ft, the home is compact but arranged for comfortable single or couple living.
The lease will be extended to 177 years on completion and the property benefits from a peppercorn ground rent and a low annual service charge, giving long-term security for buyers worried about leasehold issues. Practical features include double glazing, mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — useful for home working or streaming.
Location is a key positive: Galleywood offers local shops, cafés, green spaces and good bus links into Chelmsford and its mainline station. Nearby schools include several rated Good and one Outstanding grammar school, making the area attractive to a range of buyers.
Buyers should note the property’s footprint is modest (average-sized rooms) and the wider area shows indicators of deprivation; local crime levels are average. Council tax band is not provided and the current ground rent is £10, so check ongoing costs before committing. Overall, this maisonette is a sensible, low-maintenance purchase for a first-time buyer or investor seeking a well-located, leasehold flat with an extended lease and private garden.
