Compact modern home with parking and £5,000 service charge help.
Top-floor two-bedroom apartment with private balcony
This top-floor two-bedroom apartment offers a compact, modern home in central Chelmsford with efficient open-plan living and a private balcony. The layout includes a master with en suite, a second double bedroom with built-in storage, and an integrated kitchen — suited to a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor seeking low-maintenance living.
Practical benefits include secure underground parking plus additional off-road spaces, fast broadband, and a long lease of 117 years. The seller will contribute £5,000 towards service charge costs, helping reduce upfront running expenses. Ground rent is modest at £70 per year and council tax is described as affordable.
Be clear about the drawbacks: the apartment is small (444 sq ft) and sits in a very high crime area, which may affect suitability for some buyers or renters. The building appears modern and well-finished, but buyers should budget for routine service charges and consider personal security measures given the local crime level.
Arrange a viewing to assess room proportions and the balcony aspect in person. For a compact, contemporary home with parking and a long lease, this property represents a practical entry into Chelmsford’s market or a straightforward rental opportunity.
