Harberd Tye, Chelmsford CM2

Top floor. Treetop views. Move-in ready.

If you're searching for a home that's stylish, low maintenance and packed with thoughtful upgrades, this beautifully presented one-bedroom apartment in the ever-popular Harberd Tye, Chelmsford ticks all the right boxes.

Positioned on the top floor of this attractive development, built in 2005, the apartment enjoys an elevated outlook across mature greenery, creating a peaceful setting that's surprisingly hard to find. Better still, with approximately 132 years remaining on the lease, it's a home you can enjoy for years to come.

Step inside and you're welcomed by a spacious hallway leading to a fantastic-sized double bedroom, offering plenty of room for wardrobes, home working or simply stretching out at the end of the day. The modern shower room benefits from a powerful turbo extraction fan, keeping the space fresh and practical.

The real showstopper is the bright living room. A large feature window allows natural light to pour in throughout the day, creating an inviting space that's perfect whether you're enjoying a quiet morning coffee or entertaining friends. Modern usb charging sockets have been thoughtfully installed, proving that even the little details haven't been overlooked.

The contemporary kitchen blends style with efficiency, featuring an eco-friendly induction hob, soft-close cabinetry, an intelligent sensor-operated cooker hood and sleek LED spotlights that continue throughout the apartment, giving the home a clean, modern finish.

Running costs are refreshingly straightforward too. The property is fully electric, meaning there's just one utility supply to manage, while modern ceramic radiators provide efficient heating all year round.

One of the apartment's hidden gems is the loft space, accessed via a pull-down ladder and partially boarded-ideal for storing seasonal decorations, luggage and those items you don't need every day but want close at hand.

Outside the apartment, the development is exceptionally well maintained. The communal hallways are professionally cleaned on a regular basis, windows are cleaned quarterly, communal areas are redecorated every two years, and the apartment itself benefits from a professional deep clean twice annually, helping maintain a smart and welcoming environment throughout.

Completing the package is an allocated parking space and a location that offers the perfect balance of peaceful surroundings with easy access to Chelmsford city centre, local amenities and excellent transport links.

Whether you're taking your first step onto the property ladder, downsizing in style or adding a quality investment to your portfolio, this apartment proves that sometimes the best things really do come in perfectly presented packages.
