A bright fifth-floor apartment offering contemporary living with skyline views over Chelmsford and the county cricket ground. The open-plan living area and private balcony create a comfortable, low-maintenance home suited to city life and commuting.
Internally the flat provides two double bedrooms, one with an en suite, plus a separate shower room. Built in 2021, the property benefits from modern construction standards and a long lease (139 years remaining), so there is clear scope for a straightforward move-in or rental use.
Practical costs and local factors should be noted: the annual service charge is £3,800 and ground rent £350, while heating is via a community scheme. The property sits in a high flood-risk area and the immediate neighbourhood records above-average crime levels; these are important considerations for buyers assessing insurance and resilience measures.
This is a chain-free sale with allocated off-street parking and excellent connectivity to Chelmsford’s amenities and train links. The combination of modern build quality, central location and long lease will appeal to first-time buyers seeking a ready-to-live-in city base, or investors targeting steady rental demand.
