This bright first-floor apartment in Ramsden Court offers a straightforward route onto the property ladder with a 75% shared ownership option and no onward chain. The open-plan kitchen/living/dining room opens through French doors to a private balcony, creating a light, sociable space for relaxing or entertaining. Two double bedrooms provide genuine flexibility for a small family, sharers or a home office.
Practical details suit a commuter lifestyle: Wickford town centre and the railway station are within a short walk, and the flat includes one allocated parking space and lift access. The lease has about 115 years remaining and the energy performance is good (EPC B). Service charges average £2,844 per year (£237 pcm) and the remaining share carries a monthly rent of £162.
Be realistic about running costs and living conditions: the property is heated by electric room heaters which may be more expensive than gas alternatives, and the development sits in an area recorded with higher crime levels — sensible security and budgeting plans are advisable. Shared ownership limits future sale options and mortgage rules should be checked with lenders.
For first-time buyers seeking a low-entry cost in a convenient town-centre location, this flat is practical and well-presented. Its combination of transport links, nearby schools and ready-to-move-in condition will suit buyers who prioritise accessibility and manageable upkeep over large private outdoor space.
