A chain-free, two-bedroom first-floor apartment in central Chelmsford offering straightforward city living. The principal bedroom has an en-suite and both bedrooms are well-proportioned within an average-sized 629 sq ft layout. Double glazed windows and a long lease (approx. 165 years) give practical peace of mind.
Practical benefits include secure residence parking accessed via a barrier, a communal garden, and fast transport links into London from Chelmsford station — useful for commuters or parents needing quick school runs. The building dates from the late 1990s/early 2000s and has modern double glazing.
A few clear points to note: heating is via electric storage heaters (higher running costs than gas), and the annual service charge is approximately £1,800 (includes water rates). Crime levels in the immediate area are above average, which may be a consideration for some buyers.
This property will suit first-time buyers seeking a low-maintenance, city-centre home or investors looking for a straightforward buy-to-let with good local rental demand. Its no-onward-chain status makes it ready for a fast move, though those wanting lower running costs or gas central heating may prefer to budget for upgrades.
