This first-floor one-bedroom flat in Newland Springs offers an affordable entry into Chelmsford with no onward chain. The apartment is compact (approximately 372 sq ft) and suited to a first-time buyer or investor seeking a low-maintenance rental unit. It benefits from long lease length (953 years), gas central heating and double glazing.
The property requires modernisation: the kitchen is dated and the interior will benefit from refurbishment to maximise value and comfort. Layout is traditional with one double bedroom, bathroom (shower over bath) and a small living space — ideal for single occupants or couples, or as a buy-to-let with straightforward updating potential.
Practical positives include allocated off-street parking, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, low local crime and a cheap council tax band. Local amenities are well served: nearby bus routes provide links to Broomfield Hospital, several good and outstanding schools are within reach, and the surrounding area is described as comfortable suburbia.
Leasehold details are favourable — an unusually long 953 years remaining with ground rent described as a peppercorn. EPC rating C. Buyers should allow a renovation budget and view the apartment in person to assess finish and space constraints.
