Summary - 43 SQUIRRELS HEATH LANE ROMFORD RM2 6DP
2 bed 1 bath Maisonette
Two-bedroom maisonette with garden, parking and a 941-year lease near Elizabeth Line..
0.3 miles to Gidea Park Station (Elizabeth Line)
Set on a quiet Squirrels Heath Lane terrace, this ground-floor two-bedroom maisonette is a practical choice for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. The property benefits from a long lease (941 years), private rear garden, and off-street parking for two cars — rare for a flat close to the Elizabeth Line.
Accommodation comprises a separate reception room, kitchen/diner and a modern bathroom. Bay windows at the front provide good natural light and the layout suits simple modernisation to add value. The garden is low-maintenance with paved patio, artificial lawn and a shed, useful for outdoor living or storage.
Practical running costs are competitive: low service charge (£303 pa), small ground rent (£40 pa) and an affordable council tax band (C). The EPC is currently D (66) with potential to improve; heating is mains gas with boiler and radiators. Transport links are a major plus — Gidea Park Elizabeth Line is 0.3 miles away, with Romford and M25/A12/A127 routes easily accessible.
Notable drawbacks are straightforward and should be factored into any offer: the property is leasehold (though with a very long lease), the EPC rating is mid-range, and the area records above-average crime levels. Externally the building appears tidy but internal photos are limited and the flat likely benefits from further internal updating to maximise value.
