This compact ground-floor maisonette offers an affordable entry to Rainham living for a first-time buyer or someone looking to downsize. The one double bedroom and a well-proportioned living room make everyday life straightforward, while communal front and rear gardens remove the need for heavy garden upkeep.
The property sits within easy walking distance of Rainham town centre and the mainline railway station, a strong practical advantage for commuters. The footprint is small (approximately 430 sq ft) but arranged for sensible day-to-day use; bright natural light in the reception helps the space feel more open than its size suggests.
Practical matters are clear: the lease has 88 years remaining, ground rent is £10 pa and a service charge of £50 pcm has been quoted. The EPC is rated D (67) and the property will suit buyers happy to accept a modest, low-cost home rather than a turnkey renovation.
Important considerations: room sizes are compact and the layout is limited compared with a house. The property is in an area of high deprivation and average crime levels; buyers should check local amenities and services themselves. Legal checks on the lease and service charge are recommended before exchange.
