Welcome to this stunning riverside apartment offering luxurious living in one of Chelmsford’s most desirable locations.
Boasting spectacular river views from an impressive private balcony, this exceptional two double bedroom, two bathroom home has been beautifully designed in an upmarket waterside setting that’s close to city centre amenities and local nature alike.

Large doors open directly onto the expansive 31ft balcony that extends to the length of the apartment creating an incredible entertaining space whilst perfectly framing the uninterrupted river views.
Both bedrooms are generous doubles, with the master benefitting from a stylish en-suite bathroom and access onto balcony, whilst the second bathroom is equally well-appointed and finished with a modern touch.
The apartment benefits further include allocated parking, visitor permit, EV bays, gas central heating, a secure entrance system, and six years remaining on its NHBC warranty – providing an extra piece of mind.
