Set on the first floor of a mid-20th-century purpose-built block, this chain-free two-bedroom flat is a practical entry point to Rayleigh living. The layout offers two double bedrooms, a 15' lounge and a separate kitchen that leads to a small balcony and steps down to an enclosed rear garden — useful outdoor space for a ground-floor-style flat.
The property benefits from recent UPVC double glazing, gas central heating with a modern combi boiler, and off-street communal parking. At about 593 sq ft, accommodation is compact but well-proportioned for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking a straightforward, low-maintenance purchase. The location is a strong selling point — within easy walking distance of Rayleigh station, local shops and the High Street.
Practical details support a smooth purchase: 114 years remaining on the lease, below-average service charge (£931) and a small ground rent (£175). The block sits in a comfortable suburban area with low crime and generally good local amenities.
The interior appears tidy but basic; cosmetic updating (kitchen, flooring, décor) will unlock more value. The building’s cavity walls are assumed to have no added insulation; energy efficiency upgrades may be worth considering. Broadband and mobile signals are average — adequate, but not exceptional.
