The list price of £115,000 for a one-bedroom retirement apartment in this location seems reasonable, especially considering comparable listings in the same development (nearby listings around the same price). However, without square footage information for comparable properties it’s difficult to give a conclusive assessment. A lack of comparable properties with accurate sqft information means price per sqft is not possible to calculate and assess accurately.

Based on the photographs, the property appears to be in fair condition. The interior seems relatively well-maintained, though it could benefit from some modernisation to update the style and fixtures. The apartment shows signs of age, not major damage, but does not present itself as being top condition. The external areas shown in the pictures suggest a well-kept complex.

Macmillan Court benefits from a convenient location in Old Moulsham, Chelmsford. It’s close to shops and amenities on Moulsham Street, and within a reasonable distance of Chelmsford city centre and its train station (0.95km). The proximity to several schools, including Our Lady Immaculate Catholic Primary School (rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted), further enhances its appeal for families or those considering the area for its schooling options. However, the location is restricted to those over a certain age, and the development itself might be considered limited in terms of overall neighbourhood diversity.

While the property boasts access to communal gardens, it does not feature a private garden. The communal garden space is a notable positive, offering outdoor space for residents, however, the size and character of the garden needs further evaluation in person.
