A fresh two-bedroom apartment in the Beaulieu development, ideal for first-time buyers seeking modern, low-maintenance living near Chelmsford. The flat features a west-facing open-plan living area with an integrated high-gloss kitchen and two double bedrooms, including built-in storage in the master. Finished with Amtico flooring and neutral carpets, it offers move-in-ready presentation.
Practical positives include two allocated off-street parking spaces, a long lease (approximately 986 years remaining) and a below-average service charge. The development is designed for walkable daily life with on-site facilities, excellent bus links and planned rail improvements, while Chelmsford city centre and station are only minutes away—commutes to London are straightforward.
Important notes: the property is leasehold and sold as shared ownership (eligibility required), with a small ground rent and an ongoing resident consultation regarding a potential stock transfer. There is a single family bathroom and the apartment is mid-size, so buyers wanting more space should consider that. Mortgageability will be assessed through a financial interview and a deposit will be required.
This apartment suits buyers prioritising transport links and modern convenience who want a manageable first home with potential to increase equity over time. The location, long lease and two parking spaces are genuine long-term strengths, balanced by the shared ownership model and the ongoing consultation process which interested buyers should factor into their decision.
