This compact first-floor one-bedroom flat sits in a modern mews development, 0.7 miles from Chelmsford Station and within easy walking distance of the city centre. The open-plan living and fitted kitchen create a bright, low-maintenance home suited to a single occupant, couple, commuter or buy-to-let investor.
Practical strengths include an allocated off-street parking space, secure communal entry, a long lease (about 190 years remaining) and reliable broadband and mobile coverage. The apartment is offered chain free and appears well presented internally, reducing immediate refurbishment needs.
Notable drawbacks are factual: the property relies on electric room heaters rather than a central gas system, the unit is compact at about 441 sq ft with no private garden, and the recorded local crime level is very high. Annual costs include a service charge of approximately £1,400 and ground rent of £218, which should be factored into affordability calculations.
For a first-time buyer or investor seeking a city-centre, low-maintenance base with strong transport links to London, this flat offers straightforward, practical accommodation and long-term lease security. Buyers prioritising larger living space, gas heating, or lower-crime neighbourhoods should consider these constraints before viewing.
