Summary - 20 AKENFIELD CLOSE SOUTH WOODHAM FERRERS CHELMSFORD CM3 5XP
1 bed 1 bath Studio
Compact, clean flat with parking and communal gardens.
No onward chain — ready for quick purchase
A compact first-floor one‑bed apartment offered with no onward chain, ideal for a first-time buyer wanting a town‑centre base or an investor seeking a low‑entry purchase. The flat has a separate fitted kitchen, a good-sized lounge with storage and a double‑glazed bedroom, all presented in clean, neutral decor. An allocated off‑street parking space and attractive communal gardens add practical value for everyday living.
Practical costs to note: the property is leasehold with 91 years remaining, a service charge of about £1,093 per year and ground rent of £165 per year. Heating is by electric room heaters and the EPC rating is D, so energy bills may be higher than for gas‑heated homes. Broadband speeds in the area are reported slow.
This is a straightforward, easy‑to‑manage home or rental unit for someone who prioritises location and low initial outlay. The layout and condition mean minimal immediate renovation is required, but buyers should factor in ongoing service charges, the remaining lease term and potential improvements to heating and insulation to reduce running costs.
Viewings are recommended for anyone seeking a compact, chain‑free purchase near South Woodham Ferrers town centre or an investor looking for a simple let with allocated parking and communal outdoor space.
