Summary - Flat 61, Rocheforte House, Roche Close SS4 1PW
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Compact modern home near town centre and station, ideal for first purchase.
First‑floor one‑bedroom apartment, 476 sq ft
A bright one‑bedroom first‑floor apartment offering a straightforward entry into Rochford living. The open‑plan lounge and fitted kitchen make efficient use of the 476 sq ft, and the double bedroom includes built‑in wardrobes. The property was constructed in the mid‑2000s and benefits from double glazing and an intercom entry system.
Practical features include an allocated covered parking space within the residents’ car park, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for commuters and home workers. The remaining lease is long (124 years) which supports mortgageability, and council tax is described as low.
Running costs and local context require a clear view: heating is electric via room heaters (no mains gas), which can be more expensive than gas central heating. Service charge (£1,700 pa) and ground rent (£466 pa) are notable ongoing costs. The wider area shows higher crime statistics and levels of deprivation; buyers should weigh that against the convenience of Rochford town centre and station being within walking distance.
This apartment suits a first‑time buyer or investor seeking a manageable, modern home close to local amenities and transport links. It requires little immediate renovation but budget planning should include service charges, ground rent and potentially higher heating bills from electric heaters.
