2 bed flat for sale

Broomfield Road, Chelmsford CM1

Step inside, close the door… and everything outside disappears.

Set just moments from the heart of Chelmsford, this two-bedroom flat offers something surprisingly rare — genuine privacy, complete quiet, and the feeling of your own space, all within walking distance of the city centre and station.

Unlike most apartments, the property benefits from its own private entrance. No shared hallways, no passing neighbours — just your own front door and a space that feels self-contained from the moment you walk in. Despite being positioned in a well-connected, central location, once you're inside, the outside noise and movement are completely shut off.

The layout is both practical and flexible. There are two bedrooms, including a spacious main bedroom, alongside a main bathroom and an ensuite — a combination that’s not often found at this level. The second bedroom works perfectly as a home office, guest room, or even a small gym, depending on your lifestyle.

From a day-to-day perspective, this is where the flat really stands out. You’re just a short walk into the city centre, with everything Chelmsford has to offer right on your doorstep — from shopping and restaurants to everyday essentials. Chelmsford Station provides direct access into Liverpool Street Station in around 30–40 minutes, making it an ideal base for commuters who want convenience without the chaos of living in London itself.

The building itself is small, with just six flats in total, creating a more controlled and less transient environment than larger developments. The property also benefits from a right-to-manage setup, meaning owners have greater control over how the building is run and, importantly, the costs. The current service charge sits at approximately £97 per month, which is significantly lower than many comparable flats locally. The ground floor position also allows for gas central heating, keeping running costs efficient and manageable.

While the property does not come with allocated parking, this is a highly walkable, commuter-focused location where many buyers won’t need a car day-to-day. For those that do, nearby parking is available to rent at approximately £100 per month.

This is a home that suits a very specific type of buyer — someone who values convenience, independence, and simplicity. A first-time buyer stepping onto the ladder, or a working professional who wants a secure, low-maintenance base with everything close by.

It’s not about having the biggest space. It’s about having the right one — in the right place — that works exactly how you need it to.
