Set on the first floor with its own private entrance, this three-bedroom leasehold flat offers notably large balcony space and generous room proportions for its overall footprint. The apartment benefits from double glazing, mains gas central heating via a boiler and radiators, and solid wood flooring in the lounge for immediate comfort. Its proximity to Pitsea station (about half a mile) and quick access to the A13/A127 make commuting straightforward.
Buyers should note material facts: the building dates from the 1950s–1960s and external cavity walls are understood to have no added insulation; the exact age of the glazing is unknown. The area records higher crime levels and significant local deprivation, which may affect resale or rental demand and should be considered alongside the asking price. The property is leasehold with 88 years remaining, an average service charge of around £1,490 per year, and a small ground rent.
Internally the layout is practical for first-time buyers or investors: three bedrooms, a four-piece bathroom, an open-plan lounge/diner and a long kitchen with fitted units and gas hob. A very large balcony (approx 5.03m x 3.66m) and additional lockable storage beneath the building add usable space. Appliances are reported but untested, so purchasers should verify all services and appliances.
This apartment suits someone seeking an affordable entry into the area with clear scope to improve value through decorator-level works and energy-efficiency upgrades (insulation, possible glazing improvements). Early viewing is advisable to assess condition and potential, particularly for buyers considering renting or modernising the home.
