Summary - 5 PARNELL CLOSE CHAFFORD HUNDRED GRAYS RM16 6BQ
2 bed 2 bath Flat
Compact, well-presented two-bedroom near station and Lakeside shopping.
975 years remaining on lease — long-term security
A bright, modern two-bedroom first-floor apartment with a very long lease and no onward chain, offering a secure step onto the property ladder. The living room is airy with wood-style flooring and a large window; the kitchen is neatly fitted and appliances are included. The master bedroom has an en-suite and there is a separate main bathroom, making the layout practical for sharers or a small family.
Practical strengths include allocated off-street parking, gas central heating, double glazing and a 975-year lease that removes long-term leasehold worry. The location is a major draw: Chafford Hundred station is close by for commuting and Lakeside Shopping Centre provides wide retail and dining options. Local schools are highly rated and the area records low crime and very affluent neighbourhood indicators.
Notable points to check: the flat is small at c.399 sq ft, with an outlook onto the communal parking and neighbouring properties rather than open views. Annual service charge is £2,296.09 and ground rent is £150 per year — factor these running costs into budgets. Broadband speeds are average and there is no private garden. Overall, this is a compact, well-presented home that suits first-time buyers, professionals or buyers downsizing who prioritise location and low leasehold risk over large internal space.
