A compact ground-floor one-bedroom apartment offering an affordable entry into Harlow.

Its position close to local shops, schools and the M11 makes day-to-day life and commuting straightforward.
The property is best suited to a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor: estimated rental income of around £1,000 pcm and low annual running costs are clear positives. Accommodation is small (approx. 413 sq ft) but useable — lounge, double bedroom, kitchen and bathroom — and there is a personal brick-built shed plus communal drying area for extra storage.
Buyers should note material factors: this is a leasehold flat with 118 years remaining, an annual service charge of £720 and a ground rent of £10 per year. The immediate area records higher crime levels and is classed as a deprived neighbourhood, which may affect resale and lettings; verify lease and communal maintenance details with your solicitor before committing.
The apartment will reward modest updating and careful decoration to maximise appeal. Its practical footprint and transport links deliver a sensible, cost-conscious purchase for someone seeking a small, well-connected home or a straightforward investment opportunity.
