Summary - 5 BAKER STREET CHELMSFORD CM2 0SA
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Commuter-friendly flat near station and Central Park, ideal for first-time buyers.
Top-floor two-bedroom apartment with bright living spaces
A bright top-floor two-bedroom apartment in a mid‑century brick block, just a 10-minute walk from Chelmsford station and a 4-minute stroll to Central Park. Large windows flood the living room and bedrooms with natural light, and a separate fitted kitchen and private storage shed add practical convenience. Permit parking is available nearby (annual permit approx £28.60) and the property sits in a very affluent area with fast broadband—appealing for commuters and investors alike.
The flat is offered with 85 years remaining on the lease. That level of leasehold term is a material consideration—buyers should factor in the cost and timescale of lease extension. Service charge runs at about £235 per quarter (approx £940 annually) and ground rent is nominal at £10 per year. Council tax is relatively cheap, and flood risk is very low.
The building appears well maintained externally and the flat is presented in good order internally, though the block dates from the 1950s–1960s and walls are likely cavity construction with no added insulation. Crime levels in the immediate area are above average; practical security measures and insurance costs should be considered. Overall this compact 529 sq ft apartment suits a first-time buyer seeking straightforward commuter links or an investor looking for a city-centre let, provided the lease length is addressed promptly.
