This ground-floor one-bedroom flat in Vert House offers a practical, well-located home for a first-time buyer or investor. The property sits within easy walking distance of Grays town centre and the rail station, with fast broadband and good local schools nearby. The layout is open-plan, creating a light, modern feel across the lounge and fitted kitchen, plus a double bedroom and a three-piece bathroom with a jacuzzi bath.
The flat includes a garage and a private garden, useful extras that are uncommon at this price. The lease is long (approximately 152 years remaining) and council tax is very cheap. The building is of 1980s construction with double glazing fitted after 2002 and cavity wall insulation assumed, so basic fabric is sound.
Buyers should note heating is electric via room heaters, which can mean higher running costs compared with gas central heating. The property is leasehold with an average service charge of about £1,200 per year. Overall crime and area deprivation are average for the town, and flooding risk is very low.
With good transport links into London and proximity to Lakeside and local amenities, this flat suits someone seeking affordable entry to the area or a rental investment needing low refurbishment. An internal viewing will show how the open-plan layout and included garage/garden add practical value.
