A two-bedroom first-floor retirement apartment in Spalding Court, built by McCarthy & Stone, offers low-maintenance living close to Chelmsford town centre. The development includes a lift, communal lounge, laundry, guest suite and a resident manager with 24/7 emergency call-back — practical features for independent retirees and downsizers.
The apartment comes with carpets, curtains and light fittings included and sits within well-kept communal grounds with access to local shops, bus and rail links and a nearby park. Accommodation is traditional in layout with an average-sized footprint (approximately 666 sq ft) and a living room, kitchen, two bedrooms and bathroom.
Notable costs and constraints are clear: service charge (£6,300.80 pa) is above average and ground rent (£792.85 pa) is high. Heating uses electric storage heaters and some internal decoration is dated, so buyers should allow for modernisation and ongoing energy costs. The property is leasehold with around 98 years remaining and is only available to purchasers aged 60 and over.
This apartment suits a buyer seeking secure, convenient retirement living with on-site support and easy access to town amenities. It offers good communal facilities and low external maintenance, but budget-conscious buyers should factor in service charges, ground rent and potential refurbishment and heating costs.
