Excellent commuter location within easy walk of the mainline station.
728.4 sq ft — unusually large one-bedroom apartment
This spacious one-bedroom apartment occupies the first floor of a modern building in Chelmsford city centre, offering 728.4 sq ft of accommodation and vacant possession. Its size and layout feel more generous than typical city flats, with a large double bedroom, open lounge-diner and a fitted kitchen with appliance space.
Location is the standout: within easy walking distance of Chelmsford mainline station and town centre amenities, making it well suited to commuters or a buy-to-let investor targeting professionals. The property has double glazing and was built in the late 1990s/early 2000s, so major fabric work is unlikely in the short term.
Practical considerations: heating is by electric room heaters rather than gas central heating, which can mean higher running costs. The neighbourhood records above-average crime levels, so security and tenant screening are important for investors. The flat is share of freehold with a modest annual service charge of £420 and an affordable council tax band.
Overall this apartment presents a good-entry city centre option with clear rental and commuter appeal due to size and location. Buyers should budget for potentially higher energy bills and consider sensible security measures given local crime figures.
