This top-floor one-bedroom apartment in Van Diemans Court offers a straightforward, low-maintenance entry into Chelmsford property ownership. Recently redecorated and chain-free, it benefits from a long lease (approx. 150 years), allocated parking and low running costs — features that suit first-time buyers and buy-to-let investors alike.
The layout is compact and efficient: lounge, separate kitchen, double bedroom with built-in storage and a bathroom. The block is well maintained, double-glazed and sits about one mile from Chelmsford Station for easy commuting to the city centre and London. Communal outdoor space and a private loft/attic area add useful extras.
Practical positives include low service charges (approx. £45 pcm), no ground rent and a current rental of £1,000 pcm — helpful for investors assessing yields. That said, the accommodation is small for a one-bed and would benefit from minor modernisation to maximise value and light. External amenity is communal rather than private, and the flat’s top-floor position means loft access but limited outside space.
Overall this is a sensible, low-hassle flat suited to someone wanting a cost-effective Chelmsford base or an investor seeking a straightforward let with long lease security. Buyers should note the compact room sizes and communal nature of the amenities when comparing options.
