Summary - Havencourt, Victoria Road, Chelmsford CM1 1EA
1 bed 1 bath Retirement Property
Compact, chain-free retirement flat close to Chelmsford High Street with on-site support..
Ground-floor 1 bed, 1 bath apartment (c.405 sqft)
A compact ground-floor retirement apartment offering easy access to Chelmsford city centre and one of the largest communal gardens in the complex. The 1-bed, 1-bath flat has practical features for independent older residents: emergency pull-cords linked to an on-site House Manager, a lift, communal lounge, laundry and guest suites. Double glazing, cavity wall insulation and electric heating keep running costs predictable.
This flat is chain free and sold vacant with off-street parking and a front-facing position close to the main entrance — convenient if mobility is a concern. The complex is age-restricted (women 60+, men 65+), centrally located near the High Street, Cathedral and local amenities, and benefits from good mobile and broadband signals.
Important practical issues: the lease has 58 years remaining, which may limit mortgage options and could cause lenders to refuse lending; buyers should obtain mortgage advice and solicitor confirmation before exchange. Annual service charge and ground rent are significant (around £3,000 service charge and £420 ground rent) and the immediate area records very high crime levels, which may be a concern for some purchasers.
This property suits a downsizer or cash buyer seeking a low-maintenance, well-serviced retirement setting close to city facilities. It presents straightforward living with communal support but carries material lease and cost considerations that require due diligence.
