A compact split-level maisonette on Moulsham Street offering a practical first home or buy-to-let close to Chelmsford city centre. The property benefits from its own off-street parking and sits just moments from the High Street and within easy walking distance of Chelmsford station — ideal for commuters and city amenities on your doorstep.
Inside, the layout makes good use of about 430 sq ft: an open-plan living/dining area leads to a fitted kitchen, with a generous double bedroom and a modern bathroom on the upper level. The building is relatively modern (built 2003–2006) with double glazing and a long lease (112 years), reducing immediate major-cost risks. Chain free sale speeds a straightforward move for first-time buyers.
Buyers should note this is a small property and uses electric room heating rather than a central heating system; running costs can be higher than gas-heated homes. There is a service charge (circa £1,025 p.a.) and a small ground rent (£75 p.a.), and the site has a medium flood risk and very high local crime rate — factors to consider for insurance and security measures.
Overall, this maisonette is a convenient, well-located entry-level purchase with clear commuter appeal and rental potential. It suits a first-time buyer seeking proximity to shops, transport and local schools, or an investor targeting central Chelmsford rental demand. Be prepared to budget for energy costs and any security or resilience measures given the area's risk profile.
