A ground-floor two-bedroom apartment positioned a stone’s throw from Rochford High Street and within easy walking distance of Rochford station. The apartment offers an open-plan lounge and kitchen, two generously sized bedrooms and allocated off-street parking plus visitor bays — practical features for first-time buyers or those downsizing. The development is modern and well maintained, with a large communal rear space and good broadband and mobile coverage.
The property sits on a long lease (approx. 113 years remaining) with double glazing and gas central heating; service charge and ground rent are payable (approximately £1,305 pa service charge; £325 pa ground rent). Council Tax sits in Band B which keeps running costs relatively low. Local schools nearby have good Ofsted ratings and everyday amenities, bus routes and the golf club are all close by.
Buyers should note material concerns plainly: the local area records higher-than-average crime and broader area deprivation indicators. The flat is modest in overall size (around 603 sq ft) and some internal areas show signs of wear and would benefit from modernization to maximise comfort and resale value.
This apartment suits first-time buyers seeking easy access to transport and town amenities, or buy-to-let investors targeting steady rental demand near stations. It represents a manageable entry into the market with clear upside for cosmetic improvement, but buyers should factor in service charges, ground rent and the neighbourhood profile when assessing long-term value.
