Summary - Riverside Court School View Road, Chelmsford, CM1 CM1 2PE
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Compact modern apartment with parking, ideal for first-time buyers or investors.
Top-floor two-bedroom apartment, light-filled with elevated views
This compact two-bedroom top-floor apartment offers a modern open-plan living space in the heart of Chelmsford city centre. Light-filled rooms and elevated views create a roomy feel despite the modest overall size of 483 sqft, making it a practical entry-level home for first-time buyers or a straightforward buy-to-let for investors.
The property benefits from a contemporary fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, a stylish family bathroom and an allocated off-street parking space — a notable plus in a central location. The development is described as secure and well-maintained, with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal supporting remote working or digital tenants.
Important practical details: the flat is leasehold with about 140 years remaining, an average service charge of £2,000 per year and a small ground rent of £250. The building records indicate solid brick walls with no assumed insulation and double glazing installed before 2002, which may present future maintenance or upgrade needs to improve thermal performance.
Location is a primary strength: shops, cafés and restaurants are on the doorstep, and Chelmsford railway station is within walking distance for easy commuting to London. Nearby highly rated secondary schools add long-term appeal for buyers prioritising education. Prospective purchasers should weigh the central convenience and rental appeal against the compact floor area and the ongoing costs of service charge and ground rent.
