This compact two-bedroom maisonette sits a short walk from Chelmsford city centre and the mainline station, making it a practical pick for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking strong transport links. The open-plan kitchen/lounge and ground-floor utility maximise the modest footprint, while two off-street parking spaces (one carport) are rare for central locations.
The property occupies an Edwardian building and combines period exterior character with a small modern kitchen and usable garden. The flat is chain-free and comes with a long lease (136 years), low ground rent (£75 pa) and a predictable service charge (£1,440 pa), which helps with budgeting. Council Tax band B and excellent mobile and broadband speeds add daily convenience.
Buyers should note the home is small (approx. 417 sq ft) and rated EPC E, so heating and insulation performance may lag newer builds. The house sits in a higher-crime area relative to neighbouring neighbourhoods, which may be a consideration for some. Overall this is a practical, well-located starter or rental opportunity with clear scope for cosmetic improvement to add value.
