Sizeable First Floor 1 Bedroom Flat boasting NO ONWARD CHAIN and a 175 year Lease in Galleywood Village.
Not only do you have a good-sized kitchen with a small breakfast bar, a naturally light living room overlooking the road, and a bedroom with a brand-new carpet, but also a bathroom with a white suite, both located off an inner hall. Additionally, there are three separate storage cupboards, which is quite unusual for an apartment to offer so much storage.
Further appeal comes from having gas radiator heating with a Combi boiler, an outside storage cupboard, and a security entry phone system.
Galleywood village is well-served by local everyday amenities and sits just on the outskirts of Chelmsford City, with frequent bus routes close by covering the approximately 3-mile distance.
All in all, this is a great purchase for both first-time buyers and investment buyers.
ACCOMMODATION AS FOLLOWS:
A communal hall with an entry intercom system gives access to the shared hallway, where a staircase leads up to the first floor and the entrance door to this flat.
HALLWAY
With a wood laminate floor, radiator, and a large built-in cupboard, this hallway is both practical and offers valuable storage.
There is an entry intercom phone and an access point to a shallow loft area. Doors open to both the kitchen and the lounge.
KITCHEN 3.5m x 2.03m (11'5" x 6'7")
As you can tell from the measurements, this is a generously sized kitchen, a size rarely found in one-bedroom apartments.
A side window brings good natural light into this area, which has a range of wood-effect base and eye-level cabinets, as well as a generous amount of worktop space incorporating a small breakfast bar area and a built-in electric oven and hob.
There is an inset sink unit, spaces for a washing machine and fridge-freezer, plus additional space suitable for a bin or wine cooler!
LOUNGE 4.52m x 3.47m (14'10" x 11'4")
Another naturally bright, generously sized room with a full-width, front-facing window. The wood-effect laminate floor continues from the hallway, and there is a radiator plus a door leading to an inner hallway.
INNER HALL
This useful inner hall creates a handy area that provides privacy between the bedroom and bathroom area and the living spaces.
This inner hall has a double cupboard housing a Logic combination boiler, along with wood shelving for additional storage.
BEDROOM 3.5m x 3.07m (11'5" x 10'1")
This double bedroom, with a front-facing window, has a brand-new fitted carpet and, like the rest of the flat, white-painted walls, offering a nice neutral feel.
There is also a built-in cupboard, adding to the ample storage this flat enjoys.
BATHROOM
The bathroom features a tiled floor, tiling to the walls, and a tidy, modern white suite consisting of a pedestal washbasin, a push-button WC, and a panel-enclosed bath with mixer taps and a separate Triton electric shower.
There is also a chrome heated towel rail and a duplex wall heater to provide extra warmth, should you need it.
OUTSIDE
To the rear of the block is a garden area with washing lines and a selection of outdoor storage sheds, one of which is allocated to this apartment.
There is also a rear gate leading to a pathway and a nearby service road.
There is no designated parking for these flats, but residents freely park on the road outside and in nearby car parks, one of which sits directly opposite.

Chelmsford has a long and interesting history starting in the pre-historic period (widespread 8,000 BC flint tools evidence), although it was the Roman period when the first proper roots were laid down in AD61, as it was a fortified staging post on the London (30 miles) to Colchester (22 miles) Road - the modern A12, situated at the meeting of the rivers Can and Chelmer where they were crossed by the old Roman Road.
It developed further as a medieval market town when in 1199 King John granted a Royal Charter for Chelmsford to hold a market (still here 800+ years later), eventually becoming the County Town and centre of local administration in 1218 and a City in 2012.
Industry has always flourished here as in the early days, materials were bought in by water from the sea at Heybridge along the ‘Navigation', the Canalisation of the rivers Chelmer and Blackwater in 1797 - now a largely unspoilt part of rural Essex with a footpath along its full length and beautifully maintained. Summer sees many a narrowboat, river craft or canoe cruising along it, with Papermill Lock a lovely place to visit halfway along the Canal.
The main part of Chelmsford is the merging of 21 parishes (Moulsham, Springfield and the surrounding villages like Danbury and Writtle, etc) to form one continuous developed area.
