Set to the rear of a modern block with views over woods and farmland, this ground-floor one-bedroom flat offers a compact, quiet home with the feel of a small bungalow. The lounge opens to a fitted kitchen with a useful hatch, and the bedroom enjoys the rural aspect that makes this apartment feel more spacious than its footprint suggests.
Practical running costs are clear: an EPC C rating, allocated parking, communal gardens, and buildings insurance included in the service charge. The property is tenanted-friendly and straightforward to manage, making it suitable for a first-time buyer wanting low-maintenance living or an investor seeking a rentable one-bed in Leigh-on-Sea.
Buyers should note material facts: the flat is leasehold with 93 years remaining, electric storage heating, and a modest total floor area (approximately 366 sq ft). The service charge is £1,565.56 per year and ground rent £73.22 per year, both payable half-yearly. The accommodation is well maintained but compact — suited to single occupants or couples rather than families.
Location is a genuine strength: local shops, bus routes and fast road access are close by, with country walks and a nature reserve on the doorstep. For buyers prioritising quiet, low-upkeep living with green views, this flat represents accessible value in an affluent, well-connected area.
