This well-presented second-floor flat offers a practical, move-in-ready home ideal for first-time buyers. The recently refitted kitchen and bathroom give immediate modern comfort, and the bright lounge/diner and two bedrooms provide flexible living space. A long 135-year lease and garage en bloc add clear ownership security and storage value.
The building sits in a popular Hornchurch location, about 0.6 miles from Upminster Bridge station and close to Hornchurch town centre amenities and several well-regarded schools. Communal areas are well kept; there is permit parking, a communal garden and loft space for extra storage.
Be aware this is an electrically heated property using room heaters rather than a central gas system, which can affect running costs. The property is leasehold with an average service charge of £1,200 per year. The flat is on the second floor, so access involves stairs and may not suit those needing step-free entry.
Overall, the flat is a sensible purchase for a buyer seeking a refurbished, low-maintenance starter home with good transport links and secure long-lease ownership. It also presents short-to-medium term investment potential thanks to its location and garage provision.
