Description
Purely Land are pleased to present an exceptional development and investment opportunity in Chelmsford, Essex, ideally situated off of Springfield Road (close to city centre) and within close proximity to all local amenities.
The site currently benefits from full planning consent for the creation of five apartments across two separate buildings, combining a new residential development (extension of existing building) with the sensitive conversion of an existing building with road frontage.
The current approved schemes comprises of the following:
- Three apartments within one building, together with ground-floor office accommodation, which is to be extended for an additional floor to facilitate the residential element.
- The conversion of an existing building into two separate, self-contained apartments.
This attractive mixed-use opportunity offers the chance to deliver a high-quality residential scheme in a well-connected and established location. A new-build accommodation and conversion creates a varied and appealing development, while the approved office space provides additional commercial flexibility for further investment.
Situated close to Chelmsford city centre, the site benefits from convenient access to shops, restaurants, leisure facilities, employment opportunities and transport links. This location will appeal to a broad range of prospective perspective purchasers, including professionals, young households and investors seeking property in a thriving Essex city.
With planning consent already secured, the opportunity is well suited to developers and investors looking for a consented scheme with the potential to generate rental income, capital growth or resale value.
Get in touch with our Land team for sales particulars and further details on this fantastic opportunity!
