A compact Victorian mid-terrace in Chelmsford city centre with genuine renovation potential. The house is vacant and offered with a rear garage, garden and rear access — practical assets for anyone planning an upgrade or conversion. Its location is a major draw: within easy walking distance of the mainline station, shops and local amenities.
The property currently requires extensive modernisation throughout. Accommodation comprises two reception rooms, a small kitchen, ground-floor bathroom and a flexible first-floor layout that can function as two bedrooms with a third off the second. There is scope to reconfigure the space, move the bathroom upstairs and extend the ground floor, subject to consents. The building is solid brick (circa 1900–1929) and likely needs insulation and general systems upgrades.
Important drawbacks are clear and factual: the house needs full refurbishment, windows, services and finishes are dated, and the walls are uninsulated (assumed). The immediate area records higher crime levels, which some buyers will weigh against the excellent transport links and city-centre convenience. Council tax is described as affordable and the property is freehold with vacant possession and no onward chain, simplifying purchase timing.
This home will suit a buyer comfortable with a project — a first-time purchaser willing to DIY or a small investor seeking a city-centre renovation with rental or resale potential. The garage, garden and blank‑canvas interiors give scope to create a modern, compact city dwelling close to Chelmsford’s amenities.
