About
5 Bedroom HMO | Fully Let | £2,880 pcm | No Onward Chain If you’re looking for a ready-made investment that hits the ground running (and keeps running), this five-bedroom HMO in the heart of Chelmsford is the kind of opportunity landlords dream about - and rarely find.
Set within a popular residential pocket of Cramphorn Walk, this well-configured property is fully let with all tenants remaining, delivering an impressive £2,880 per calendar month from day one.
No voids. No chasing tenants. No awkward conversations. Just income.
Step inside and you’re welcomed by a practical ground-floor hallway, immediately setting the tone for a layout that works exceptionally well as an HMO.
A downstairs WC sits neatly off the hallway - a must-have for shared living and a big tick for tenant convenience.
To the left of the hallway, you’ll find the first generous bedroom, ideal for tenants seeking privacy away from communal areas.
The hallway then guides you through towards the kitchen, but before you reach it, the staircase rises discreetly off the kitchen area, keeping traffic flow sensible and uncluttered.
Off the kitchen sits Bedroom Two, perfectly positioned and consistently popular with tenants, while straight ahead the space opens into a bright conservatory, currently used as a communal area.
This in turn leads out to a low-maintenance rear garden, complete with a brick-built shed - ideal for storage and keeping outdoor space functional rather than demanding.
Upstairs, the first-floor landing gives access to three further bedrooms, all well-proportioned and income-producing, alongside a shared bathroom that services the floor comfortably.
The layout ensures minimal wasted space and maximum rental efficiency - exactly what seasoned investors want to see. Location wise, this property doesn’t miss a beat.
Positioned close to Chelmsford city centre and within easy reach of Chelmsford railway station, tenants benefit from excellent transport links, amenities, shops, bars and employment hubs - which is precisely why demand here remains consistently strong.
And best of all? No onward chain. A clean, straightforward purchase that allows you to complete and start earning without delay.
