This chain-free, one-bedroom first-floor flat offers a straightforward entry into Saffron Walden’s market. The lounge/diner feels bright and the kitchen is useable with built-in storage, making the layout practical for everyday living. Communal grounds and off-street parking add convenience rarely found at this price point.
The apartment suits first-time buyers, downsizers or buy-to-let investors seeking a low-maintenance base in a very affluent, low-crime neighbourhood with fast broadband and good transport links to Audley End station. Local amenities include strong primary and secondary schools, leisure facilities and an independent cinema — useful for families and working professionals.
Buyers should note the leasehold status: approximately 90 years remain, with a service charge around £1,140pa and a small ground rent of £250pa. Heating is via electric storage heaters and the building dates from the late 1970s/early 1980s, so some updating or an energy-efficiency upgrade may be needed over time.
Overall this is a compact, practical flat offered with no onward chain. It represents a sensible, low-risk purchase if you want a ready-to-occupy property or a straightforward rental opportunity, but factor in lease length and future refurbishment when assessing long-term value.
