This top-floor two-bedroom apartment in Crittall Court offers a modern, low-maintenance home or a buy-to-let opportunity close to Witham rail links. The open-plan kitchen/living room and Juliet balcony bring good natural light; the master bedroom includes an ensuite, and both bedrooms are doubles. Allocated off-street parking and communal landscaped areas add convenience for residents.
Practical costs and tenure are important: the property is leasehold with 96 years remaining, a ground rent of £250 pa and a service charge around £2,320 pa. Heating is electric (storage/room heaters) which can mean higher running costs compared with gas. There is no private garden and the accommodation is compact at around 646 sq ft, so space is best suited to first-time buyers, couples or investors targeting commuter lets.
Location is a genuine strength — easy walking distance of Witham mainline station with regular services to London, local supermarkets, schools and A12 road links nearby. Broadband is average but mobile signal is excellent. Note the local crime statistic is very high for the area; prospective buyers should factor that into personal security and insurance considerations.
Overall this is a well-presented, modern apartment in a purpose-built block that suits buyers seeking commuter convenience or a rental income, provided they accept leasehold costs, electric heating and modest living space.
