55, Wilshire Avenue, Chelmsford, CM2 6QW

Positioned along the ever-popular Wilshire Avenue in the heart of Chelmer Village, this beautifully presented two-bedroom first floor maisonette delivers the perfect balance of style, practicality and that “finally, a property that actually ticks the boxes” feeling.

Thoughtfully upgraded throughout by the current owner, this is the kind of home that feels effortlessly put together - modern where it matters, low-maintenance where you want it, and surprisingly hard to leave once you’ve walked through the door.

Step inside and you’re welcomed by a bright and spacious interior that instantly feels warm and inviting.

The generous lounge/dining room offers plenty of space to relax, entertain or pretend you’re definitely going to host more dinner parties this year.

Natural light pours through the property, while oak internal doors throughout add a sleek and stylish finish that elevates the entire home.

The kitchen, installed in 2022, has been designed with modern living firmly in mind.

Finished with contemporary high gloss cabinetry and integrated appliances including a washing machine, dishwasher, fridge freezer, cooker and induction hob, it’s a space that manages to feel both practical and impressively polished - very much “Pinterest board meets real life”.

Both bedrooms are well-proportioned, with one benefitting from fitted wardrobes for those who appreciate a little extra storage without sacrificing floor space.

The landing also features a built-in storage cupboard, while the loft has been boarded and upgraded with double insulation, giving you valuable additional storage and improved energy efficiency - because sensible upgrades are underrated.

The bathroom continues the home’s contemporary feel, complete with a stylish waterfall shower head, heated towel rail and modern fittings throughout.

The owner has also upgraded the hot water cylinder, significantly improving water pressure and efficiency - a detail you may not think about immediately, but one you’ll appreciate every single morning.

Further benefits include modern electric heaters with 24/7 controllable settings by digital timer or the option of an app, allowing you to manage comfort and efficiency with ease.

No unpredictable ancient storage heaters here - this setup is very much in its “grown-up and organised” era. Outside is where this home really separates itself from the crowd.

The private rear garden is an absolute standout feature and a genuine rarity for properties of this kind.

Beautifully landscaped with Indian sandstone paving for ultra low-maintenance living, it’s the perfect spot for summer evenings, morning coffees or convincing yourself you suddenly enjoy gardening despite there being very little actual gardening required.

New fencing, outside lighting and an external tap complete the space perfectly. The property also benefits from one allocated parking space and approximately 88 years remaining on the lease.

Even better, the block is self-managed by the four owners, helping to keep costs refreshingly reasonable, with service charges at approximately £40 pcm and annual building insurance around £250 per year - proof that not all running costs need to feel personally offensive.

Location-wise, it’s easy to see why Chelmer Village remains one of the city’s most sought-after areas.

You’re moments from Asda supermarket, Chelmer Village Retail Park, excellent A12 access and within easy reach of both Chelmsford railway station and the newly developed Beaulieu Park railway station - making commuting, shopping and everyday convenience feel refreshingly effortless.

Set within the heart of Chelmsford, this property enjoys all the benefits of a city that perfectly balances modern convenience with a relaxed Essex charm.
