Overall Description

This modern second floor apartment has a lovely light and spacious feel throughout, with large floor to ceiling bay windows in both the main reception and master bedroom, both with attractive views across the communal green below. Being at the end of a cul-de-sac, it is also nice and quiet, yet just a short walk to local shops, supermarkets and other amenities. The apartment has a good-sized sitting/dining room opening into a stylish contemporary fully-fitted kitchen, with good quality white and brown goods including oven, hob, extractor hood, fridge/freezer, washing-machine and dishwasher. There are two decent bedrooms, both looking out over the green, the master with fitted wardrobes and a stylish bathroom. The apartment has gas central-heating, run from a Potterton boiler, and is double-glazed. Downstairs there is a car-port with sensor light, which comes on when you park at night, as well as a separate parking space, both right by the door into the flats, so very convenient. There is also a communal bike store and use of the large attractively landscaped communal green which forms the heart of the whole development. The apartment comes with a long 125 year lease, with around 110 years still remaining, has no chain, and was recently let out for ?1,200 per annum. This exceptional apartment really is worth a visit for buyers either looking for a convenient home close to all that Chelmsford has to offer, or as an excellent buy-to-let investment.
