This ground-floor maisonette on Upper Bridge Road offers an excellent entry point to Chelmsford living, especially for first-time buyers and commuters. It is well presented throughout and benefits from a private entrance, a neat rear garden with defined seating areas, and permit parking close to the property. The location puts the city centre and train station within easy reach, making daily travel straightforward.
Internally the layout is compact but practical: two bedrooms (one with a bay window and period fireplace), a lounge with a feature fireplace, a modern kitchen and a three-piece shower room. The property combines period character with updated fittings and is ready to move into, though overall floor area is modest at around 439 sq ft — best suited to someone seeking a starter home rather than extensive living space.
Financially the maisonette is appealing: a long lease of 169 years, peppercorn ground rent, low annual service charge (£100) and a low council tax band. Points to check with a solicitor include exact ground rent wording and freeholder details. Note the property is a solid brick Victorian build (likely with no wall insulation) and the local crime rate is above average, facts that may influence insurance or retrofit considerations.
