About this home

Set in the centre of Chelmsford, the apartment enjoys an enviable location with shops, restaurants, cafés and the mainline station all within easy reach. Inside, the accommodation has been thoughtfully arranged to create a home that feels bright, spacious and easy to live in.

The heart of the apartment is the open-plan living area, where generous proportions and natural light. Whether you're hosting friends, working from home or enjoying a quiet evening in, the layout offers plenty of flexibility. The adjoining contemporary style kitchen boasts integrated appliances and ample storage, making it as practical as it is attractive.

Both bedrooms are comfortable doubles, providing versatile accommodation for couples, professionals, guests or anyone needing a dedicated home office area. Throughout the apartment, large skylights bring daylight into every corner, giving the home a bright, airy feel that sets it apart from a typical apartment.
