Stunning Two-Bedroom Ground Floor Conversion in a Landmark Grade II Listed Building
No Onward Chain Off-Road Parking
Set within the iconic Crompton’s Arc Works, this exceptional two double bedroom ground floor apartment offers a rare opportunity to own a beautifully styled home within one of Chelmsford’s most historically significant buildings. The property further benefits from an off-road parking space located adjacent to the building and is being sold with no onward chain, making it an ideal and straightforward purchase.
Originally constructed in the late 19th century, Crompton’s Arc Works played a vital role in the city’s industrial and electrical engineering heritage and was formally Grade II listed in June 1986 in recognition of its architectural and historic importance. Once used for pioneering electrical manufacturing, the building has since been sensitively converted into distinctive residential accommodation, preserving its character while delivering contemporary living.
The Apartment
The property immediately impresses with its generous proportions, excellent natural light and striking industrial features. A spacious open-plan living area forms the heart of the home, enhanced by exposed industrial steels, tall ceilings and warm wooden flooring, creating a stylish yet welcoming environment ideal for both everyday living and entertaining.
The modern fitted kitchen is sleek and understated, featuring high-gloss cabinetry, integrated appliances and a central island that doubles as a social hub and informal dining space. Clean lines and neutral finishes allow the original character of the building to shine through.
There are two double well-proportioned bedrooms, both offering flexibility for professional buyers, guests or home working. The principal bedroom enjoys a calm, private feel, while the second bedroom is perfectly suited as a guest room, office or creative space.
A contemporary bathroom completes the accommodation, finished to a high standard with a full-size bath and overhead shower, wall-mounted basin, modern tiling and a chrome heated towel rail.
Historic Character & Architectural Appeal
Crompton’s Arc Works is celebrated for its arched windows, robust brick façade and industrial proportions, all hallmarks of Victorian engineering buildings of its era. These architectural features were originally designed to flood the factory floors with natural light and remain a defining feature of the apartments today.
The conversion carefully balances heritage preservation with modern convenience, resulting in a home that feels unique, authentic and impossible to replicate in new-build developments.
Location & Lifestyle
Situated within Devon Mews, just off Anchor Street, the apartment enjoys a peaceful and discreet setting. Tucked away in a quiet mews just off Moulsham Street, this location offers the perfect balance of tranquil surroundings and easy access to vibrant, independent bars and restaurants, as well as Chelmsford’s wider city amenities.
• Chelmsford Mainline Station approximately a 10–15 minute walk, offering direct services to London Liverpool Street in around 35 minutes
• Excellent access to Central Park, Admirals Park and riverside walks
• A thriving city centre with shopping, cafés, restaurants and cultural venues close by
• Convenient road access via the A12 and surrounding routes
Why This Property Stands Out
• Two double bedroom ground floor apartment
• Grade II listed historic building
• Characterful industrial conversion with exposed features
• Stylish open-plan living space
• Modern kitchen with island
• Off-road parking space adjacent to the building
• No onward chain
• Excellent transport links to London
• Central yet tucked-away mews location
Summary
This is a rare chance to acquire a beautifully presented home with genuine historical significance, offering the perfect blend of character, style and convenience. With the added benefits of off-road parking and no onward chain, this property is ideally suited to professionals, first-time buyers or those seeking something truly distinctive.
Early viewing is highly recommended.
