Quietly tucked in Galleywood, this one-bedroom first-floor apartment is offered chain free and suits a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor seeking straightforward entry to Chelmsford’s market. The layout provides a spacious lounge/diner, separate kitchen, bedroom and bathroom across 463 sq ft, plus off-street parking, a communal garden and an outdoor storage shed. The lease has 97 years remaining and service charges are modest for the area.
Be pragmatic about condition: the building and flat show signs of mid-century construction and will benefit from modernization. Heating is electric via room heaters and the glazing was installed before 2002, so replacing units or upgrading heating would be sensible long-term improvements. These works are reflected in the asking price and present scope to add value.
Location is a genuine plus — Galleywood offers countryside walks, good local schools and easy access to Chelmsford city amenities. Broadband and mobile signals are strong, flood risk is low and council tax is described as cheap, which supports both comfortable living and a rental proposition. Buyers should factor in leasehold costs (service charge and ground rent) and commission a survey to confirm services and condition.
