Spalding Court, Cedar Avenue, Chelmsford

This superb size 2 bedroom apartment is possibly one of the largest retirement apartments currently available in the Chelmsford area and is on the market at less than half the asking price of some of the new ones being offered for sale!

It was specifically chosen when bought because of its location in the complex being "tucked away" on the very end of the complex.

It certainly offers excellent size accommodation and is offered for sale with vacant possession available.

Chelmsford City centre is within reach as are local shops and bus services in Duke Street just round the corner. Highly recommended! Spalding Court is a retirement complex for persons aged 60 or over.
