NO ONWARD CHAIN. A good size two bedroom ground floor apartment with an extended Lease (145 years), popular Springfield location.

Property Oracle says ..

This two-bedroom ground floor apartment in Springfield North, Chelmsford is presented for sale at £185,000. Located on Lupin Drive, the property benefits from its proximity to good schools, including The Bishops’ Church of England and Roman Catholic Primary School and The Tyrrells School, both rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted. Chelmsford city centre is within a reasonable distance, providing access to transport links and a wide range of amenities.

The apartment itself appears to be well-maintained, though the interior design could benefit from modernisation to increase its appeal to potential buyers. The photos showcase a basic but functional layout, with a living room, kitchen, bathroom, and two bedrooms. Notably, the property does not include a private garden, instead featuring access to a small, shared green space.

In terms of pricing, the £185,000 asking price seems competitive when compared to other apartments in the immediate vicinity, such as the similar two-bedroom apartment on Lupin Drive listed at the same price. However, the absence of a private garden, and the smaller size, explains the lower price than the semi-detached homes on the same road.

Overall, this property could be attractive to first-time buyers or investors seeking a conveniently located apartment in a family-friendly area with access to good schools, at a relatively competitive price point. However, the absence of private outdoor space and the need for some modernisation should be considered.

Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
