Summary - Wharf Road, Chelmsford CM2 6FS
2 bed 2 bath Apartment
Compact city-centre apartment near Chelmsford station — investor opportunity.
Top-floor two-bedroom apartment, 539 sq ft
This compact two-bedroom top-floor apartment on Wharf Road is a pragmatic investment in central Chelmsford. At 539 sq ft it offers efficient accommodation: open-plan living, a private balcony and an ensuite to the master bedroom, all within easy walking distance of the city centre and mainline station. Allocated parking and fast broadband add practical appeal for tenants or short-term lets.
The surrounding area mixes student and migrant-family communities, which supports steady rental demand and occupier turnover. Proximity to Anglia Ruskin University, good local primary and secondary schools, shops and leisure facilities makes the location attractive to young professionals, students and commuter tenants.
Important facts: the property is leasehold and sold chain-free, which can speed completion, but it sits in a medium flood-risk zone and an area with very high recorded crime — both factors that affect insurance, tenant sourcing and rent levels. Buyers should also note the overall apartment size is small, limiting family use and storage.
Overall, this is a straightforward, city-centre rental prospect for investors seeking a low-maintenance unit with transport links. Factor in flood risk, local crime statistics and leasehold terms when assessing projected yields and insurance costs.
