This newly refurbished one-bedroom ground-floor maisonette in Wick Meadows is a compact, move-in-ready option for first-time buyers or investors seeking low-hassle ownership. The open-plan living and dining area and fitted kitchen open directly to a private rear garden, giving a feeling of indoor-outdoor space uncommon at this size. Two allocated parking bays and external storage add practical everyday convenience.
The flat benefits from an exceptionally long lease (over 900 years), double glazing and recent full refurbishment, so immediate major works are unlikely. The large double bedroom and modern shower room make the layout comfortable for single occupants or couples, while the property's location — close to Wickford High Street, the mainline station and local leisure facilities — supports rental demand and resale appeal.
Buyers should note the property’s overall footprint is small (approximately 388 sq ft), so storage and entertaining space are limited compared with larger flats or houses. Heating is by electric room heaters rather than a gas central system, which can mean higher running costs depending on usage and tariffs. The property is leasehold, though the exceptionally long lease length removes typical short-lease concerns.
In short: a well-presented, low-maintenance starter home or rental asset in a comfortable suburban setting with excellent transport links. Practical buyers will appreciate the long lease, two parking bays and private garden; those needing larger living space or gas heating should consider whether the size and electric heating meet long-term needs.
