Set within the heart of Chelmsford's vibrant city centre, this distinctive 1,279 sq ft duplex apartment offers an excellent opportunity for anyone looking to enjoy the convenience of everything the city has to offer. Available with no onward chain, the property combines character, space and a layout that is both practical and a little different from the norm. Arranged over two floors, the apartment makes an immediate impression with its high ceilings and original character, creating a sense of space that's often hard to find in modern developments. The entrance level is home to two generous double bedrooms, making it an ideal choice for professionals, couples or those needing space for guests or a home office. The principal bedroom benefits from its own en-suite shower room, while a separate cloakroom adds further convenience.

A feature staircase leads to the lower level, where the main living accommodation has been designed with modern living in mind. The open-plan layout creates a sociable space that flows effortlessly between the lounge, dining area and contemporary fitted kitchen, making it equally suited to relaxing at home or entertaining family and friends. The main bathroom is also located on this level.

Outside, the property benefits from an allocated parking space within a secure gated car park, providing the added convenience of private parking in such a central location. Further advantages include gas central heating, excellent storage throughout and the reassurance of being offered to the market with no onward chain.

With Chelmsford's wide range of shops, restaurants, bars and the mainline railway station all just a short walk away, this is a home that perfectly suits those seeking a low-maintenance lifestyle in one of the city's most desirable locations. An internal viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate everything this unique apartment has to offer.
