This bright ground-floor apartment offers generous living across roughly 838 sq ft with the practical advantage of no onward chain. The layout includes a separate modern kitchen, two double bedrooms and a living room that opens directly onto a private south-facing rear garden — an unusual outdoor benefit for a ground-floor flat.
Practical features add to the appeal: an allocated parking space with a garage in a block, private external storage by the front door, and easy access to local shops, Great Berry Open Space and Laindon station (about 1.4 miles). Council Tax Band C and a clear, well-maintained 1980s block make this a comfortable suburban option.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold property with approximately 87–88 years remaining on the lease and an annual service charge around £2,683. Heating is by electric room heaters rather than a gas central system, which may increase running costs and could influence upgrade plans. Ground rent is modest at £35 per year.
Overall, the flat suits first-time buyers or investors looking for a low-maintenance property with outdoor space and parking. It also offers scope for cosmetic updating and potential value uplift if heating or internal finishes are modernised, though any long-term plans should be checked against the lease and communal management arrangements.
