Council tax is described as above average and the local area records higher crime levels, which some buyers will wish to consider.

The location is convenient for local shops, a Tesco superstore nearby, bus routes and Chelmsford city centre (rail link to London c.35 minutes). This apartment suits someone seeking a low-maintenance retirement home with on-site support, communal life and easy access to town facilities, but who can budget for significant annual service charges and electric heating costs.
