This well-presented two-bedroom first-floor apartment offers compact, contemporary city-centre living with a river-facing dual-aspect lounge that brings light and a pleasant Chelmer outlook. The modern kitchen and two double bedrooms make it practical for first-time buyers or commuting professionals seeking a ready-to-move-in home close to transport and amenities.
Practical features include an allocated off-street parking space, built-in wardrobes to the main bedroom, and useful entrance-hall storage. The building’s service package covers the water bill, and the remaining lease term is a healthy 102 years — acceptable for mortgage lenders and long-term ownership.
Buyers should note the material negatives: the apartment is small at 594 sq ft, the area records a very high crime rate, and there is a medium flood risk. Annual service charges are relatively high at £2,460 and ground rent is £150 per year — factor these into running-cost calculations.
Overall, this property suits a first-time buyer or commuter who values a central location, quick access to Chelmsford station and local leisure, and prefers a low-refurbishment apartment. It offers an attractive town-centre lifestyle but comes with elevated ongoing costs and local safety and flood considerations that merit careful review.
