Located near Pitsea Retail Park and Pitsea Railway Station
Local area: high crime rate and higher deprivation levels
This first-floor, two-bedroom apartment sits in a warden-controlled over-55s complex and is offered with no onward chain. The flat provides a generous lounge with a bay window, a separate kitchen, two bedrooms and a three-piece bathroom, arranged over approximately 502 sq ft—compact but practical for downsizing or retirement living.
Communal facilities include a lounge, well-kept shared gardens and resident permit parking in a private car park. The location is convenient for local shopping at Pitsea Retail Park and for transport links, including Pitsea Railway Station with direct services to central London.
Buyers should note material considerations: the lease has 85 years remaining and will need renewing urgently; service charges are approximately £1,968 pa and ground rent is £35 pa. The property and some internal areas show dated fittings and will benefit from modernisation. The wider area scores high for crime and has a higher level of local deprivation, which may affect long-term value considerations.
Overall this is a manageable, low-maintenance retirement apartment suitable for a buyer seeking communal support and convenience rather than family accommodation. It will appeal to downsizers who prioritise social amenities and transport links but who are prepared to address the short lease and update the interior.
